DSS arrests NLC President on way to United Kingdom

The Department of the State Services has arrested the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero.

Ajaero was arrested on Monday morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his way to the United Kingdom for an official assignment.

The NLC president was billed to attend the Trade Union Congress conference in London, which begins today.

Sources said the NLC President had been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).

The labour leader on Thursday, August 20, honoured an invitation by the Intelligence Response Team arm of the Police Force.

This followed the police summons on August 19.

He was invited based on investigation into terrorism financing.
