The leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has accused the Federal Government of harassing its leaders and has put its members and affiliates on red alert, threatening a nationwide strike should the Nigerian Police Force detain its president, Joe Ajaero.

The unionists said the strike would begin on Tuesday midnight “if anything happens to the president of the congress”.


On Monday, the Nigerian Police Force summoned Ajaero for investigation over allegations of terrorism financing, treasonable felony and cybercrime.


The NPF invitation was contained in a letter dated 19th August 2024, and signed by ACP Adamu Muazu on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team.


The summon had ordered the NLC president to present himself for questioning by 10:00 am today.


The police also warned that a warrant of arrest would be issued if Ajaero failed to comply.
