Ajaero fails to honour police invitation, requests details of allegations

A coalition of Abuja lawyers has submitted a letter to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Intelligence Response Team (IRT), requesting details and the nature of the allegations of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime levelled against the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero.

The letter, signed by Samuel Ogala, Esq. on behalf of Falana & Falana’s chamber, also informed the authorities that Ajaero will not be able to honour the invitation due to the fact that the invitation was received late by the NLC President.

The letter reads: “We are Solicitors to the Nigeria Labour Congress and its President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, on whose behalf we write this letter in respect of the above subject matter.

“We have the instructions of Comrade Joe Ajaero to inform you that he is unable to honour your invitation on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, in view of the fact that your invitation letter was received by him yesterday.

“Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of Section 36 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as altered, Comrade Ajaero requests the details and nature of the allegations of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime levelled against him.
