Abuja-Kaduna train attack: Bandits kill TUC Secretary-General
One of the victims killed by bandits in the attack on a Kaduna bound train from Abuja on Monday has been identified as the Secretary-General of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Musa-Lawal Ozigi. The State Chairman of the TUC in Kwara, Akin Akinsola, was also identified among the victims killed by the bandits in the operation.
The TUC President, Quadri Olaleye, in a statement highlighted: “Comrade Ozigi served in the capacity of General Secretary, Construction and Civil Engineering Senior Staff Association (CCESSA), an affiliate of TUC for almost two decades before he joined the Congress in 2012.
“Comrade Akinsola was a staff of Dangote Flour Mill under OLAM. They were both seasoned Trade Unionists.”
Quadri Olaleye lamented: “As it stands, nowhere is safe now – we cannot travel by air, road is not safe and neither is the rail. Is Nigeria a failed state? It is unfortunate.”
The TUC President, then, stated: “The Congress condoles with the families and friends of our comrades and the good people of Kogi State for this irreparable loss.”
