DSS Releases NLC President Joe Ajaero
The Department of State Services (DSS) has released the detained President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero, on bail late Monday night, September 10, after he provided a statement.
Ajaero’s release came following a strong warning from the NLC, which threatened to mobilize its affiliate unions for a nationwide strike if he was not freed by midnight on Monday/Tuesday, September 9/10.
Ajaero had been arrested earlier that day at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, while en route to a global Trade Union Congress meeting in the UK.
