Before Falana address to the workers, NLC Vice President, Anthony Benjamin and National Treasurer, Ambali Akeem asked their members across the country to begin nationwide strike from midnight of Thursday, if Joe Ajaero is detained by the police.
Meanwhile, a detachment of the police and operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS were seen in and arround the Labour House, providing protection for the workers.
