Trouble is looming in Kaduna state as the government and the police have warned against the mass protest against the sacking of teachers scheduled for Thursday by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.

NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, on Tuesday said the union will begin a series of actions with the first phase of protests in Kaduna on Thursday to defend the rights of the affected workers.

But at a press briefing in Kaduna on Wednesday, the spokesperson of Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Samuel Aruwan, said security agencies had decided not to allow the protest to hold.

He said this was because protesters had attacked the State House of Assembly and destroyed public property in addition to engaging in unlawful assembly and other violations of the Penal Code of the state during a similar protest November last year organised by the NLC.
