NLC President Joe Ajaero Detained by DSS at Abuja Airport Amidst Unclear Circumstances

In a dramatic turn of events, Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), was apprehended by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja earlier today. Ajaero was reportedly detained as he prepared to board a flight to the United Kingdom for an official engagement.

The reasons for Ajaero’s detention remain shrouded in mystery, with no official explanation provided thus far. Sources indicate that Ajaero has been transferred to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) for further questioning. This unexpected development has triggered widespread concern and speculation among labour leaders and trade unions, who are questioning the motives behind the arrest.

Ajaero was scheduled to attend the Trade Union Congress (TUC) conference in the UK today, an event that gathers prominent labour leaders from around the world to discuss critical issues affecting workers and the global economy. His detention has cast uncertainty over his participation in the conference.

The arrest has intensified fears about increasing government interference in labour unions and a potential erosion of civil liberties in Nigeria. As the situation unfolds, observers are closely monitoring the developments to understand the implications for both Ajaero and the broader labour movement.
