Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), was detained by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday morning. The arrest took place at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja as Ajaero was preparing to board a flight to the United Kingdom for an official engagement.
The sudden detention has sparked widespread speculation and concern. According to reports, Ajaero was about to embark on a trip that was part of his official duties when the DSS intercepted him. The reasons behind the arrest remain unclear, and officials have not yet released detailed information regarding the circumstances or charges, if any, against Ajaero.
The Nigeria Labour Congress, a key player in the country’s labor movement, is yet to issue an official statement, and the situation is developing rapidly. Observers are closely monitoring the incident, which could have significant implications for labor relations and political dynamics in Nigeria.
