There are now details available on the police interview with Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC).
Ajaero was reportedly questioned by the police on an ongoing probe into one of the protesters for End Bad Governance in Nigeria.
Ajaero was called in by the police to be questioned on claims of financing terrorism, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable offense.
As early as 10:20 a.m. on Thursday, Ajaero, along with Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Femi Falana, and a group of attorneys, assaulted the police Intelligence Response Team, or IRT, command at Guzape.
The NLC President and his legal team departed the IRT in under two hours.
Ajaero was accompanied by a lawyer who told newsmen that the police had no evidence against him.
“It was a very friendly interaction; they summoned him to find out if he was in the know of somebody they were investigating,” stated the unidentified lawyer.
The individual was among the demonstrators, and they were inquiring as to whether he was a tenant of Labour House; approximately six years prior, he owned a bookstore.
Even there, we gave them orders to either free every protestor or bring legal action against them.
“Ajaero has no business with the arrest of anybody. We told them that the Labour House is on the 10th floor and the person they arrested is on the second floor.
“The person’s bookshop they came to ransack is on the second floor, so, Ajaero has nothing to do with being invited by the police.
“We told them that they should have just placed a call instead of writing to him and making it look serious.”
