NLC
Truetells Nigeria recalls that operatives of the DSS had on Monday morning arrested Ajaero at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on his way to the United Kingdom.
At the end of the meeting, the NLC unequivocally condemned the arrest and detention of Ajaero by security operatives. It also demanded the immediate and unconditional release of its detained president before 12 midnight.
The labour union said the arrest was an attack against all Nigerian workers.
The NLC in a communique issued at the end of the meeting, which was signed by its deputy president, Adeyanju Adewale, also placed all its affiliates, state councils and Nigerians on a red alert.
It said the arrest of Ajaero is another attempt to delay the implementation of the new minimum wage.
The union also demanded the immediate reversal of the price of petrol to ₦617 per litre.
In mobilizing for further action, the NLC also summoned an emergency meeting of its National Executive Council (NEC), scheduled for tomorrow, 10th September, to discuss the situation and take fresh action.
The NLC warned the government to stop the dangerous trend of going after dissenting voices, adding that it would not waver in its duty to protect the rights of workers and the freedom of all Nigerians.
