- Invites Him for Interrogation
By Halimah Olamide
President of the Nigerian Labour Congress Joe Ajaero is to be guest of the Nigerian Police on Tuesday having been accused of terrorism financing.
A letter addressed to Ajaero on Monday by the force headquarters showed that Ajaero is to report at the police facility near Guzape to answer questions over alleged terrorism, treason.
A copy of the letter of invitation signed by a Assistant Commissioner of Police Adamu Muazu asked Ajaero to report at its facility to meet a team leader whose phone number was listed.
Apart from terrorism and treasonable felony, Ajaero has been accused of cybercrime.
The police in the letter indicated that should the NLC President fail to show up for the interrogation, it would not have option other than to procure a warrant of arrest against him.
In an immediate reaction to the letter, activist, Omoyele Sowore said that the Bola Tinubu administration is becoming a fascist government.
The police had last week stormed the headquarters of the NLC in Abuja in an alleged invasion that sparked outrage.
In the midst of the condemnations, the police had claimed that its operatives stormed the NLC office because of a suspect traced to one of the offices operating at the NLC premises.
Labour Leaders had rejected police excuse for the alleged invasion calling it an abuse of the rights of the Congress.
