The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting following the police invitation of its National President, Joe Ajaero, over allegations of terrorism financing.
The NEC meeting, scheduled for 8 am on Tuesday at the Olaitan Oyerinde Hall, Labour House, will have all heads of affiliates and state chapters of NLC in attendance. The meeting was summoned by NLC’s Secretary General, Emmanuel Ugboaja, in a notice titled “Notice of emergency National Executive Council meeting”.
Ajaero’s police invitation is connected to ongoing investigations into “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime”.
The police letter, signed by ACP Adamu Mu’azu, directed Ajaero to report at the IRT Complex on Tuesday at 10 am, threatening a warrant of arrest if he fails to comply.
This development comes after security agents raided the NLC national secretariat in Abuja on July 7, with the police claiming they were searching for incriminating documents linked to an international “subversive” figure.
