Following the arrest of the national president of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, the union has placed all Nigerians workers and affiliated unions on red alert.<\/p>\n
It was earlier reported that operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, arrested Ajaero on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
He was picked up at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, while boarding a flight to the United Kingdom, UK, for an official assignment when DSS operatives picked him up.<\/p>\n
In a post on its official X handle, NLC demanded immediate release of its national president.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe demand the immediate and unconditional release of Congress President, Comrade Joe Ajaero,\u201d it wrote.<\/p>\n
The union further urged \u201call affiliate unions, state councils, civil society allies and all patriotic Nigerians should be on red alert\u201d.<\/p>\n
DAILY POST recalls that the NLC president was recently invited by the Nigeria Police Force for questioning over alleged link to terrorism financing and other related offences.<\/p>\n
The union, after the invitation, vowed to shut down the nation\u2019s economy if Ajaero is arrested.<\/p>\n
