DSS arrest Labour president Joe Ajaero
Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, has been taken into custody by agents of the Department of State Services.
Ajaero was detained on Monday morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja while travelling to the United Kingdom for a formal assignment, according to information obtained by PUNCH Online.
The president of the NLC was scheduled to attend today's opening of the Trade Union Congress convention in London.
The NLC confirmed the news in a post shared on its official X feed, claiming that Ajaero's detention is an attack on Nigerian labourers.
