Police To Quiz Joe Ajaero On September 30

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, alongside the Secretary General of the union, Emmanuel Ugboaja, will be questioned by the Nigeria Police Force on September 30, 2024.

According to Punch, the duo will be grilled over petitions written against the NLC.

Human rights lawyer and counsel for the NLC, Femi Falana, SAN, disclosed this while speaking to the aforementioned publication.

Recall that Falana has earlier stated that Ajaero and Ugboaja were not re-invited by the police as regards terrorism financing, as reported by some media outlets.

Falana had clarified that the duo were invited due to petitions written against them by Airpeace.

Airpeace had accused them of “public disruption.”

But the airline, on Monday, noted that it had settled amicably with the leadership of the NLC.

However, sharing further details on the arrest, Falana disclosed on Monday evening that the police would now quiz Ajaero and Ugboaja on September 30.

“Airpeace itself noted that it has withdrawn the petition. So, why does the police still want to quiz them on September 30? Yes, they have agreed to the September 30 extension,” he said.

Ajaero and Ugboaja, through their lawyer, Falana, had demanded an extended timeline for the invite extended to them by the police.
