The Nigerian Labour Congress has responded to allegations by the Nigeria Police accusing its National President, Joe Ajaero, of links to terrorism financing, treasonable felony and other related offences.
In response to accusations of financing terrorism, treasonable felony, cybercrime, and other connected offenses, the Nigeria Police Force on Monday invited Joe Ajaero for questioning.
ACP Adamu Muazu signed a letter dated August 19, 2024, which contained the invitation on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Police’s Intelligence Response Team.
According to the letter, the police warned that a warrant of arrest would be issued if Ajaero failed to appear for interrogation on Tuesday.
The spokesperson for the Congress, Benson Upah, denied the police’s claims.
He questioned how any member of Congress could be involved in financing terrorism when they are struggling to feed.
When asked if the NLC president would be honouring the invitation, Benson said, “We are law-abiding citizens. If there is any need for our attention, we are duty-bound to honour such invitations.”
