The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has vowed to shut down the nation should the police detain or arrest its national president, Joe Ajaero.
This was resolution reached at the end of the emergency meeting of National Executive Council of the congress held Tuesday in Abuja, on Tuesday.
The NLC NEC meeting commenced by 8:30 a.m. where it was resolved that Ajaero should honour the invitation by the police.
Recalled that the NLC President was invited on Monday 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.
The police said that a warrant of arrest would be issued against him if he failed to report.
The invitation is coming after a late night raid on the NLC national secretariat in Abuja by security agents, on July 7.
