The President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, has been reportedly arrested by operatives of the Department of the State Services (DSS).
According to reports, Ajaero was arrested on Monday morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his way to the United Kingdom for an official assignment.
The report said the NLC president was billed to attend the Trade Union Congress conference in London, which begins today.
On August 19, 2024, Ajaero was invited by the Nigerian Police Force for questioning over allegations of “terrorism financing, cybercrime, and other related offences.”
The NLC had denied the allegations against Ajaero, describing it as a deliberate act of “plain mischief.”
