This threat was made known on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, shortly after an emergency National Executive Council meeting was held to discuss the invitation of the NLC President by the police over allegations of terrorism financing.
The NEC concluded that Ajaero should honor the police invitation but advised that their legal adviser should seek more time for the NLC President to appear before the police authorities.
Comrade Ado Kabiru Sani, the Deputy President of the NLC, urged the labour union to be on alert in case the police act contrary to their expectations of just inviting Ajaero.
He said, “As a committed labor center, we will honor the invitation of the police because we are not a faceless organization, but we are working with our lawyer for an extension of time.
“In the event that the President is arrested, all workers will down tools immediately. We should wait for further directives from our leadership.”
