The Nigeria Police Force has summoned Joe Ajaero, the National President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), for questioning.
He was invited over an alleged link to terrorism financing, cybercrime and other allegations.
This was contained in a letter issued from the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police Intelligence Response Team, Department of Force Intelligence.
The letter, which was signed by Adamu S. Muazu, threatened that failure to honour the invitation would lead to arrest.
“This office is investigating a case of Criminal Conspiracy, Terrorism Financing, Treasonable Felony, Subversion, and Cybercrime in which you have been implicated.
“You are therefore required to report to the undersigned for an interview on Tuesday, 20th August 2024, at 10:00 hrs prompt, at Old Abattoir by Guzape Junction, Abuja, through the Team Leader on telephone no 08035179870, in connection with the above investigation,” the letter reads.
NLC has accused the government of waging a war against the organisation, following a recent raid on its headquarters by security forces.
Daily Trust had reported how masked security operatives dressed in black raided the Labour House over #EndBadGovernance protest.
According to the police, the raid on the was intended to apprehend an international terrorist suspect, a justification the NLC dismissed as a cover-up, citing inconsistencies in the police’s account.
During a press conference in Abuja last Thursday, NLC leaders rejected the police explanation for the raid and demanded an apology, the return of seized items, and the release of detained individuals.
