Ajaero’s Arrest by DSS Not Connected to Police Invitation – Falana

Posted by Thandiubani on Mon 09th Sep, 2024 - tori.ng

Recall that operatives of the Department of State Services DSS had arrested Ajaero on Monday morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN has reacted to the arrest of the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress NLC, Joe Ajaero.

He said Ajaero's arrest is unconnected with the earlier invitation by the Nigeria police force.

Ajaero was on his way to the United Kingdom on the invitation of the Trade Union Congress, TUC, of Britain.

Speaking on the arrest of his client, Falana said the secret police had failed to provide a reason for Ajaero’s arrest.

“The invitation to Comrade Joe Ajaero by the police was rescheduled last week. I have contacted the police authorities. The arrest is not related to the police invitation,” he said.

“Comrade Ajaero was on his way to London to attend the ongoing TUC conference when he was arrested at the airport this morning by the SSS. No reason has been provided for the arrest by the SSS.”

Recall that NLC president had on August 29 honoured the invitation of the police over “a case of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime”.
