Ajaero was earlier invited by the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team (IRT), over allegations of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime.

Ajaero reported at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on Thursday morning accompanied by human rights lawyer Femi Falana, SAN and others.

After honouring the invitation, Ajaero returned to the NLC headquarters where he addressed a crowd of NLC members who had gathered in solidarity with him. Ajaero described the labour movement as the most patriotic organisation in the country, promising that the union won’t compromise its patriotism no matter the challenge it faces.

“The labour movement is worth dying for because of the patriotism and commitment. Labour movement is one of the biggest pan Nigeria organisations, our patriotism from the days of colonial government to even the period of the military is unshakable,” Ajaero said. (CHANNELS TV)
