DSS arrests Joe Ajaero, NLC President

Operatives of the Department of the State Service, DSS, have arrested the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero

Ajaero was about to board a flight to the United Kingdom, UK, for an official assignment when DSS picked him up.

Although details of the arrest and the reasons are still sketchy, sources said he has been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency, NIA.

According to sources, Ajaero was billed to attend the conference of Trade Union Congress, TUC, in the UK holding today.

NLC threatens showdown

The NL has confirmed that “security operatives abducted its President, Joe Ajaero, and forcefully whisked him away without a warrant”.

Following the arrest, the NLC alerted all its affiliates, state councils, and Nigerian workers, urging them to remain vigilant and on high alert.

The NLC, in a statement by its Head Media/Information, Benson Upah, described the arrest as “an unmistakable demonstration of the height of lawlessness being perpetuated by the Nigerian government and its agencies in their bid to silence every voice of dissent and opposition in the country as the economic policies of the government continue to afflict the people with monumental suffering and hardship.”
