The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has accused the United States of institutionalising racial profiling and persecution. Reacting to the murder of George Floyd on the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the United States, the Congress said America cannot disclaim allegations of institutionalised racial profiling and persecution in the United States. According to the NLC, “the fact that in more than 80 per cent of racial executions, police officers responsible were exonerated from criminal charges, indictment and discipline does very little to disclaim allegations of institutionalised racial profiling and persecution in United States. “We condemn the institutionalised racial profiling of black people in America, Europe, Asia and all over the world. We condemn the dehumanisation of black people through colour profiling, racial discrimination, human trafficking, slave labour and sexual exploitation.
