The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has directed all state chapters and affiliate members to mobilise in support of NLC President Joe Ajaero, who is scheduled to respond to a police summons on Thursday, August 29, 2024, over allegations of terrorism.
NLC General Secretary Emmanuel Ugboaja confirmed this directive to our labour correspondent. The NLC has instructed members across the states to organise peaceful processions to their respective state police commands and remain there until Ajaero is released from police questioning.
In Abuja, NLC members are expected to follow suit, with several union leaders accompanying the NLC president to the police investigation office.
The police had summoned Ajaero last week for questioning related to accusations of terrorism financing, treasonable felony, and cybercrime. However, the NLC, through its legal adviser, requested a new date to comply with the invitation.
