NLC protests as police probe Ajaero for terrorism financing
The Nigeria Labour Congress on Monday evening confirmed the invitation of its President, Joe Ajaero, by the police over issues bordering alleged terrorism financing.
The spokesperson for the congress, Benson Upah, made this known in a statement he signed and made available to our correspondent.
It was earlier reported on Monday that Ajaero was invited by the police for an “interview” on charges connected to “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, reasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime”.
The letter of invitation, dated August 19, 2024, and signed by ACP Adamu Mu’azu on behalf of the Commissioner of Police Intelligence, said Ajaero’s name was mentioned in ongoing investigations connected to “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, reasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime”.
Accordingly, the letter directed Ajaero to report at the IRT Complex, Abbattoir by Guzape Junction on Tuesday, August 20 at 10 am, threatening that a warrant of arrest would be issued against him if he failed to report.
According to the NLC spokesperson, Upah, the operatives burst into the building at about 8.30 pm and arrested the security guards, forcing them to hand over keys to the offices on the second floor.
