On that faithful day the governor ordered the heavily armed security to open fire on NULGE protesters for demanding governor explanation on the then 7 months unpaid salaries.

After opening fire on the protesters which led to untimely death of some aged members, illicit handpicking and detention of many of the protesters.,..............................TO BE CONTINUED!
