Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies (SSAEAC) has called for total power outage of Army Barracks in Birnin Kebbi, the capital of Kebbi State in protest of alleged assault on its members by men of the Nigerian Army.
This was contained in a statement signed by Deputy General Secretary (North) of SSAEAC, Haruna Tinau condemning the action of the Army.
While demanding the prosecution of the culprits, the union urged its members to ensure their safety by staying off danger zones in the cause of carrying out legitimate duty and service to country.
“The assault came to us as a rude shock even as we are yet to recover from the detention of our members in Port Harcourt Electric under similar reason by the Nigerian Civil Defence.
“It is unacceptable and must be resisted so as to deter others with similar intention from taking such ugly action in the nearest future.
“The Association demands for total black out for the Birnin Kebbi Barracks until the culprits are brought to book.
“We shall no longer watch this unwarranted action by any other groups or individuals and in this regard hereby call on all our members in Birnin Kebbi to stay away from your offices until your safety is guaranteed,” the statement added.
