The Department of State Security has invited the leadership of Cattle and Foodstuff dealers under the aegis of Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria (AUFCDN) to its office.
General Secretary of the AUFCDN, Ahmed Alaramma, who disclosed this at a press briefing at Labour House, Abuja, on Monday, said the President of the Association, Mohammed Tahir is presently in DSS custody.
Alaramma also alleged that the military personnel were intimidating members and task force of the union, advising the government to avert looming chaos by stopping the intimidation of their members.
The union had earlier vowed to continue its nationwide strike and sustain the enforcement on the blockade of foodstuff and cattle from entering the douthern part of the country.
This, according to them, would be sustained till federal government attend to their demands, which border on payment of N475 billion compensation for lives of members and property lost during the #EndSARS protest as well as the Shasa market crisis.
