In an unexpected development, the Department of State Services (DSS) detained the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Monday. Ajaero was preparing to travel to the United Kingdom for an official engagement when the arrest occurred.
The sudden detention has raised concerns as the reasons behind the DSS action remain undisclosed. Sources suggest that Ajaero was transferred to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) for further questioning.
Ajaero was on his way to attend the Trade Union Congress (TUC) conference, set to commence today in the UK. The arrest of a key labor leader at such a critical time has sparked speculation about potential underlying issues.
