The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has condemned alleged molestation of its members by heavily-armed security operatives who escorted the Federal Committee on Consumer Protection who reportedly invaded shipping companies where members of the union works.

In a statement signed by the President General, Comrade Adewale Adeyanju in Lagos on Monday, the union said agents from the Federal Committee invaded the work premises of its members in Cosco Shipping, Hullblyth, CMA/CGM, Cansal and Hapad Llyod and proceeded to unleash mayhem on innocent members of the union who work in the shipping firms.

While calling for an investigation into the invasion, the union warned that should such invasion of its members’ workplaces continue without due process; it will have no option but to withdraw its services.

“Note, that should this kind of invasion our members work places continue without due process, the Union will have no option but withdraw the services of its members.” The union warned.

The union however noted that it was not against government agencies doing their work, but said laid down procedures should be followed.

The MWUN PG said that the invasion of the premises of the five shipping companies occurred on Monday.

“We have been informed that agents from the Federal Committee of Competition and Consumer Protection escorted by heavily armed police men and army personnel invaded the work premises of our members in COSCO Shipping, HULLBLYTH, CMA/CGM, CANSAL and HAPAD LYOD and proceeded to unleash mayhem on innocent working members of the union.

“They seized their personal phones without any justification and held them hostage against their will and refused them movement outside their various offices”, the union noted.

“While we are not against Government agencies doing their work, we believe that laid down procedures should be followed.

“Our enquiries at the Nigerian Shippers Council which is the regulating agency for all shipping companies indicate that they were not informed nor aware of this invasion of our members’ work places.

“Secondly, we do not also believe that any category of workers should be subjected to this inhuman treatment without just cause or prior information.

“Finally, we ask that this invasion of our work places and the keeping our members hostage be immediately discontinued and investigated by appropriate authority for the sake industrial harmony in the ports”, the statement added.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
