Joe Ajaero, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, has returned to the Labour House in Abuja after honouring an invitation from the police.
The labour leader’s visit to the police headquarters followed allegations of terrorism financing, subversion, and cybercrime amidst the #EndBadGovernance protests held between August 1 and 10, 2024.
Ajaero, accompanied by his lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), and human rights activist Deji Adeyanju, presented himself at the office of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) at the disbanded SARS facility in Guzape.
9News Nigeria correspondent monitoring the development had reported that Joe Ajaero landed at the Force Headquarters around 10 :28am this morning.
The labour leader, according to the police in a letter sent to him last week, will also offer explanations to the allegations that border on “criminal conspiracy, treasonable felony, subversion and cybercrime”.
9News Nigeria recalls that police had on August 19 directed the NLC president to appear before the officers on August 20 at the headquarters of defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) popularly known as Abattoir, where the IRT office is located.
But Ajaero, through his lawyer in a letter signed Samuel Ogala, principal partner at the Falana & Falana’s Chambers, declined the invitation, and demanded details of the allegations levelled against him, adding that he would be available for questioning on Thursday, August 29.
