Those hit were among many laborers, who went with the NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba and his appointment, including a Deputy President of TUC, Comrade Etafo to a meeting called by Nasarawa State Governor, Tanko Al-Makura.
The designation was in Nasarawa to examine months of unpaid pay rates.
A source at the scene said that "the wild security agents simply started shooting at the specialists who were droning solidarity melodies outside the Government House as they anticipated work pioneers".
In the interim, Wabba has affirmed that one of the specialists has passed on, while three others, including a woman, were being dealt with for firearm shot injuries at the facility.
He said the dead casualty was a staff of the state Ministry of Education, while the three other people who maintained gunfire wounds incorporated a staff of Doma Local Government Council, the Judicial Service Commission and a writer with the ancient Nigerian Newsday, a state-claimed media outfit.
"The laborers were unarmed and calmly dissenting for their rights just to be shot at by policemen positioned at the administration house entryway.
"We don't realize what provoked them to shoot at unarmed laborers who were sitting tight for us to complete examination with the state government over the issue of their payments.
"They were assaulted with most extreme power. You can see one dead, two fundamentally harmed. They were extremely quiet, lamentably the police, under whatever misrepresentation opened flame. It is most shocking," he said.
Wabba said when the NLC authorities got wind of the episode and drew closer the Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Bello, he said there was no setback.
The NLC supervisor, in this manner, approached the police power to angle out those in charge of the shooting or face an across the nation challenge by the congress.
Responding, the Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Bello, said he was yet to be informed legitimately.
