The South West bloc of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has condemned Monday’s attack on the union’s national Secretariat in Yaba, Lagos, by suspected thugs.
The union decried the invasion as an “unruly canvas of lawlessness and crass display of contempt for civility and decorum” which painted it in a bad light.
In a statement by its coordinating chairman, Adeniyi Edwin and secretary, Adebiyi Olusegun, the union alleged that the attack may have been carried out by those who are not keen on stepping aside from the union pending the resolution of court cases.
The South West bloc cautioned aggrieved union members against resorting to hooliganism, thuggery and brigandage to attain cum retain offices of the union.
The statement further asked concerned members to allow the court to adjudicate while maintaining that the association will remain one and indivisible against “crude shenanigans.”
