Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), arrived at the police headquarters on Thursday, accompanied by Femi Falana, a well-known senior advocate, and other prominent labor leaders. This visit follows Ajaero's prior invitation to answer questions regarding serious allegations, including criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime.
Initially, Ajaero was asked to appear before the police on August 20 but declined, requesting clarification on the allegations against him. However, he ultimately decided to comply with the police invitation, highlighting the significance of transparency in the proceedings. The presence of fellow labor leaders and activist Deji Adeyanju during this visit underscores the solidarity within the labor movement.
The situation surrounding Ajaero has garnered considerable attention, raising discussions about the implications of such allegations against a prominent figure in Nigeria's labor sector.
