The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, arrived at the Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) office in Abuja on Thursday, August 29, 2024.
Ajaero, who was accompanied by his legal counsel, Femi Falana (SAN), arrived at the facility around 10:20 a.m.
The visit follows an invitation by the police, which was issued due to allegations related to terrorism financing, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable felony. The invitation letter, signed by Adamu Mu’azu (ACP) on behalf of the Commissioner of Police Intelligence and dated August 19, 2024, indicated that Ajaero’s name had surfaced during ongoing investigations into these matters.
In response to the police invitation, the NLC instructed its members across the nation to participate in a peaceful prayer procession on August 29 as a show of solidarity with their leader. Additionally, the NLC had directed its members to embark on a nationwide solidarity march on the same day as Ajaero appears before the Nigeria Police Force for interrogation.
