An Enugu State labour leader, Comrade Festus Ozoeze was today arrested by the police, tried by a mobile court  and remanded at the Enugu prisons for attempting to implement the nationwide strike ordered by the organised labour against the removal of fuel subsidy.

The state Governor,  Sullivan Chime reportedly  ordered the setting up of the special court to try any worker and members of the organised labour found to have violated his order banning public assemblies, meetings and procession in the state.

Ozoeze, who is the unit Vice Chair of Amalgamated Workers Union in Enugu State  Water Cooperation, was said to have been arrested by the police, tried by one Magistrate Mba who presided over the tribunal set up by the State government at the premises of the  Police CID and sent to the Enugu prisons for alleged conspiracy and breach of public peace.

Enugu State Head of service, Mr. Dennis Eze, who led some government officials to unlock some government offices padlocked by labour leaders reportedly petitioned against Ozoeze alongside his Chairman at the Water Corporation, Comrade Timothy Ojielo and State Chairman of his union, Comrade Chris Elibe accusing them of violating the governor's order.

It was learnt that the labour leaders were  declared wanted by the police.
