Summary

Workers under the Nigeria Labour Congress shut down the Delta State Secretariat in Asaba on September 25 following the death of Deputy Director Unity Ekpevbughe Adeda of the Ministry of Secondary Education. Reports indicate Adeda died after an alleged assault at the office of the Commissioner for Secondary Education, Kingsley Ashibogwu, though exact circumstances remain unclear. The NLC declared an indefinite strike, demanding investigation and assurances on civil servant safety. Police arrested one suspect, Lucky Adoh, and are searching for two others, Enos Attah and Oputa Okestine, allegedly involved in the incident. Protesters called for the arrest of the commissioner and others implicated. The state government constituted an administrative panel to investigate, while the Police Commissioner ordered a thorough inquiry, assuring the public that no culpable person would be shielded.
