Nigeria Labour Congress President, Joe Ajaero, Arrested by DSS at Abuja Airport
In a sudden development, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. According to sources, Ajaero was detained this morning as he prepared to board a flight to the United Kingdom for an official engagement.
Details of the arrest and the reasons behind it remain unclear at this time, but insiders have revealed that he has been transferred to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA). The authorities’ actions have sparked widespread concern and speculation among labour leaders and trade unions, with many questioning the motivations behind Ajaero’s arrest.
Ajaero’s planned attendance at the Trade Union Congress (TUC) conference in the UK, scheduled to take place today, has been thrown into jeopardy as a result of his detention. The TUC conference is expected to bring together prominent labour leaders from around the world to discuss pressing issues affecting workers and the global economy.
The arrest has raised concerns about the growing trend of government interference in labour unions and the erosion of civil liberties in Nigeria. As investigations continue to unravel the circumstances surrounding Ajaero’s arrest, many are watching closely to see how this incident will play out.
