Breaking: NLC holds emergency meeting over invitation of Ajaero by police

The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called an emergency meeting following the police invitation of its National President, Joe Ajaero over allegations of financing terrorism.

The NEC meeting, scheduled on Tuesday at the Olaitan Oyerinde Hall, Labour House, will have all heads of affiliates and state chapters of NLC in attendance.

The meeting was summoned by NLC’s Secretary General, Emmanuel Ugboaja, in a notice titled “Notice of emergency National Executive Council meeting”.

Ajaero’s police invitation is connected to ongoing investigations into “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime”.

The police letter, signed by ACP Adamu Mu’azu, directed Ajaero to report at the IRT Complex on Tuesday at 10 am, threatening a warrant of arrest if he fails to comply.

This development comes after security agents raided the NLC national secretariat in Abuja on July 7, with the police claiming they were searching for incriminating documents linked to an international “subversive” figure.
