DSS Arrests Ajaero

Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have picked up the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero.

Security sources disclosed that Ajaero was picked up in the wee hours on Monday.

Ajaero was about to board a flight to the United Kingdom, UK, for an official assignment when DSS picked him up.

Although details of the arrest and the reasons are still sketchy, sources said he has been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency, NIA.

According to sources, Ajaero was billed to attend the conference of Trade Union Congress, TUC, in the UK holding today.

Recall that Ajaero has been on the radar of security agents recently.

The NLC President had Thursday, August 20, honoured an invitation by the Intelligence Response Team, IRT, arm of the Police Force.

This followed the Police summons on August 19, asking him to appear the next day, and threatening him with arrest should he fail to comply.

Details shortly…
