NLC President Ajaero linked to terrorism financing, invited for questioning

The Nigeria Police Force has invited President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, for investigation over allegations of terrorism financing, treasonable felony and cybercrime.

The invitation was conveyed through a letter issued on Monday August 19 2024, and signed by ACP Adamu Muazu on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team.

The police warned that a warrant of arrest would be issued should Ajaero fail to comply.

The letter read, “This office is investigating a case of Criminal Conspiracy, Terrorism Financing, Treasonable Felony, Subversion, and Cybercrime in which you have been implicated.

“You are therefore required to report to the undersigned for an interview on Tuesday, 20th August 2024, at 10:00 hrs prompt, at Old Abattoir by Guzape Junction, Abuja, through the Team Leader on telephone no 08035179870, in connection with the above investigation.”

The NLC in a statement by its Head of Communications and Corporate Affairs, Benson Upah, linked the invitation to the recent raid on the headquarters of the union.

“Clearly, the last has not been heard about the raid on the headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress,” Upah said.
