NLC President, Joe Ajaero To Be Flown Abroad For Treatment

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero is set to be flown abroad for treatment following injuries sustained when he was beaten up in Imo State on Wednesday.

The update was given on Thursday by the NLC publicity secretary, Benson Upah.

According to him as quoted by The Nation, the injuries sustained by Ajaero during the beatings in Imo State on Wednesday could not be treated at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Owerri because of the nature of the injuries.

Recall that Ajaero has been hospitalized in Imo State after he was brutally beaten, with his right eye completely shut at the time of making contact.

Upah who made this known on Wednesday stated that the NLC President was beaten up, blindfolded and taken to an unknown destination where he was brutalized.

An update on the attack of Ajaero from the NLC media unit indicated that he has been placed on a neck collar and referred for an ophthalmic investigation and brain scan.

These developments come after Ajaero sustained injuries from an attack by suspected hired thugs during a rally protest in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Truetells Nigeria recalls that NLC, on Wednesday, had organized a protest rally in Owerri, over the alleged insensitivity of the state government over the worker’s plight in the state.

Moments before the commencement of the protest some thugs attacked him and inflicted body injuries on him alongside some union leaders.

After the attack, police operatives whisked him away to their facility.

The leadership of the NLC had accused the state government of being behind the attack which it claimed was supervised by the state Commissioner of Police.
