Workers have shut down the National Assembly Complex in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city. 

Access to the complex is restricted, leaving individuals stranded and cars in the lurch. 

“We are on strike and won’t allow you in even if you’re a journalist,” a sergeant-at-arms told TheCable reporter.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had declared an indefinite strike starting on Tuesday (today) after Joe Ajaero, NLC president, was reportedly brutalised in Imo on November 1.
