The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria has alleged that there are groups who have planned to malign and smear the leadership of the union and thus destabilise it and create unrest in the maritime sector.
The union made the allegation in response to a report by a group, “Save Climate and Democracy Naija,” that linked the MWUN and its leadership to the murder of Ganiu Muyibi, a member of the union and a five-month-old infant, Abraham Ukhefi, during an attack on the union’s secretariat by armed thugs.
In a statement by the MWUN’ S Deputy Secretary-General, Organising, Abdul Eroje, the union said, the Police had investigated the matter and exonerated the union and its leadership of any culpability.
According to the union, the issue is still pending in the court.
