Plateau protesters burn houses of commissioner, others

Plateau - Some youths in Langtang South Local Government Area of Plateau on Tuesday burnt down the houses of a commissioner, a legislator and the council chairman.

The victims included Mr Bako Famak, Youths Development Commissioner, Mrs Joyce Ramnap, the lawmaker, and Mr Nanman Darko, the chairman.

An eyewitness said in Langtang on Tuesday that the mob allegedly took advantage of the strike declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress in solidarity with teachers and other local government workers to go haywire.

The local government workers including primary school teachers have been at home for eight months to protest the non-implementation of the N18,000 minimum wage.
