NLC In Closed-Door Meeting Over Arrest of Its President Ajaero by DSS

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

Ajaero was picked up while on his way to the United Kingdom to attend the Trade Union Congress, TUC, of Britain.

A closed-door meeting has been convened by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC on Monday over the arrest of its National President, Joe Ajaero.

This comes after Department of State Services, DSS operatives arrested Ajaero at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

Ajaero was picked up while on his way to the United Kingdom to attend the Trade Union Congress, TUC, of Britain.

However, a statement by NLC spokesman, Benson Upah, reads partly: “The NLC remains resolute in its commitment to protecting workers’ rights and will not be cowed by the oppressive tactics of the state.

“Once again, we demand the immediate and unconditional release of Comrade Joe Ajaero and the cessation of all forms of harassment against labour leaders and the Nigerian working class including innocent citizens who hold dissenting opinions.

“We equally demand that the state frees all Nigerians languishing in various prisons around the country for exercising their democratic rights to protest in the #EndBadGovernance rallies around the country.

“Finally, the Organs of the Congress are in a closed-door meeting whose outcome will be made available to the public.”
