Police Summon NLC President, Ajaero, Over Terrorism Financing, Cybercrime
The Nigeria Police Force has invited the National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing, cybercrime, and other related offenses.
A letter signed by ACP Adamu Muazu on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team, warned that a warrant of arrest would be issued if Ajaero fails to comply.
The letter alleged that Ajaero has been implicated in a case of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime.
Ajaero has been asked to report to the Intelligence Response Team office on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, at 10:00 hrs.
The NLC has accused the government of waging a war against the organization, following a recent raid on its headquarters by security forces.
The NLC has demanded an apology, the return of seized items, and the release of detained individuals.
The police claimed the raid was intended to apprehend an international terrorist suspect, but the NLC dismissed this as a cover-up, citing inconsistencies in the police’s account.
