Suspected operatives of the Department of the State Service, DSS, have arrested the President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero.
According to reports, Ajaero was apprehended earlier this morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
The arrest took place just as Ajaero was about to board a flight to the United Kingdom for an official assignment.
He was reportedly en route to attend a conference organized by the Trade Union Congress (TUC), which is scheduled to take place today in the UK.
While the exact details and reasons behind his arrest remain unclear, sources indicate that Ajaero has since been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) for further investigation.
Stay tuned for updates as more information on the arrest and its implications for the NLC leadership and the broader labor movement is expected to emerge.
