We’ll shut down Nigeria if police arrest, detain our president – NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress on Tuesday said it had resolved to shut down the nation should the police detain or arrest its national president, Joe Ajaero.

This resolution was reached at the end of its emergency National Executive Council meeting which was held in Abuja with some other executives joining virtually.

The meeting commenced by 8.30am. and it was resolved that Ajaero honour the invitation by the police.

Ajaero was invited by the police on Monday on charges bordering on “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, reasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime”.

The letter directed Ajaero to report at the IRT Complex, Abbattoir by Guzape Junction on Tuesday, August 20 at 10 am, threatening that a warrant of arrest would be issued against him if he failed to report.

Recall that security agents on July 7 conducted a night raid on the NLC national secretariat in Abuja.
