The suspect, a foreign national, was traced to a shop within the Labour House building.
The police have emphasized that the operation was solely focused on apprehending the suspect and had no connection to the NLC or its operations. The raid was conducted with legal authority and aimed to address a significant security threat posed by the suspect. The police have called for cooperation from the NLC and urged Nigerians to be vigilant and perform security checks on individuals seeking to rent spaces within their premises.
