Joe-Ajaero-NLC-President
Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has been released from the custody of the Department of State Security (DSS) moments ago.
ENigeria Newspaper reports that Ajaero was on Monday, arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by security agents on his way to the United Kingdom.
His arrest which attracted condemnation from members of the NLC saw executives of the union issuing a statement in the media demanding his unconditional release before midnight.
The NLC’s National Administrative Council in a communique by the congress’ Deputy President, Adeyanju Adewale, on Monday evening described the detention as “brazen and illegal” and an “affront to the rights of workers and democratic principles.”
The council demanded Ajaero’s release by midnight and also called for the reversal of the recent petrol price hike to N617/liter.
At the time of publishing his report, Ajaero’s release is yet to be official announced the DSS.
