DSS Arrests NLC President Joe Ajaero at Abuja Airport

NLC Protest

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

Ajaero was reportedly about to board a flight to the United Kingdom (UK) for an official engagement when DSS officers detained him.

Although the details surrounding his arrest remain unclear, sources indicate that he has since been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).

According to inside sources, Ajaero was en route to the UK to attend a conference of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) scheduled for today.

Recall the Nigeria Police Force had issued a second invitation to Ajaero and the union’s Secretary General, Emmanuel Ugboaja, as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of criminal intimidation, malicious damage to properties, and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.

The latest invitation, August 28, 2024, was just a day after Ajaero honoured an earlier summons at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.

After meeting with the police, Ajaero returned to the NLC headquarters, where he addressed a large crowd of NLC members gathered in solidarity. He vowed to continue his fight to implement the new minimum wage, undeterred by recent police questioning.
