He had also declared the National President of NLC and 17 others wanted.
The Federal Government through the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige waded into the crisis between the state government and the NLC and invited both parties in the dispute to an emergency meeting.

The President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Ayuba Wabba, yesterday dared Governor Nasir el-Rufai to come and arrest him and other other labour leaders after the governor declared the NLC president and other labour leaders wanted for alleged economic sabotage.
The governor also placed unspecified bounty on the labour leaders.
This came as armed thugs attacked labour leaders and workers and disrupted Tuesday’s protest by NLC leaders and aggrieved worker as part of ongoing five -day strike against wKaduna State government over perceived anti-workers policies including the recent sack of about 7000 workers including teachers.
Some Nigerians have taken to social media to air their views on the ongoing scuffle between the Kaduna State Government and Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC.
Recall that the NLC, on Monday, declared five days warning strike following the sack of workers in the State, allegedly without following due process.
NLC also shut down the power supply in the State, rail and air operations, as well as other commercial activities.
Following the development, DAILY POST reported that the Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai declared the NLC Chairman, Ayuba Wabba wanted over the alleged economic sabotage and attack on public infrastructure under the Miscellaneous Offences Act.
