The labour leaders were said to have been attacked while urging the traders not to open their shops today due to the planned strike, according to Daily Trust.
The NLC had insisted on going on strike today despite an order from the National Industrial Court suspending the action.
The union decided on the industrial action after failing to reach a resolution with the Federal Government on the recent increase in fuel price.

The labour leaders are said to be demanding a total reversal to N86 after the government increased the price per litre to N145.
The government is however reportedly proposing a reduced price of N120.
The fuel price was increased after the government ended the fuel subsidy regime.
