Joe Ajaero, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has returned to the Labour House in Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday morning, Ajaero honoured the invitation of the police to appear at the force intelligence response team\u2019s (IRT) office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 19, the police invited Ajaero for questioning over \u201ca case of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter signed by Adamu Mu\u2019azu, assistant commissioner of police, indicated that Ajaero was expected at the IRT complex on August 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mu\u2019azu said an arrest warrant would be issued on Ajaero if he did not honour the invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajaero declined the invitation, demanding details of the allegations levelled against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 7, police had raided the NLC building in the Central Business District of Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NLC said operatives who raided the building \u201cclaimed that they were looking for seditious materials used for the #EndBadGovernance protests\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, Kayode Egbetokun, inspector-general of police (IGP), said one of the masterminds of the Sudan conflict was traced to the NLC headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IGP added that police detectives traced the foreigner to a shop within the Labour House, and that operatives did not raid the entire secretariat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigerians took to the streets from August 1-10 to protest against economic hardship and soaring inflation with #EndBadGovernance as the theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I DIDN\u2019T KNOW I WAS THIS LOVED\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 29, some members of affiliate unions and labour leaders across states, converged on the Labour House ahead of Ajaero\u2019s visit to the IRT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, Ajaero and Femi Falana, human rights lawyer, alongside other activists, left the building for the IRT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajaero and his entourage returned to the Labour House soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NLC president appreciated all affiliate unions for their solidarity and promised to \u201ccontinue the struggle\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to thank everyone. I want to thank all comrades in the states who have been praying. Those that have been fasting since morning can now break their fast,\u201d he said jocularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe labour movement is worth dying for because of the patriotism and commitment. Labour movement is one of the biggest pan-Nigerian organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur patriotism, from the days of colonial government to even the period of the military, is unshakeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have gone there and we are back. You can\u2019t do this job we are doing without this type of matter. It\u2019s expected. This is the hazard of the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are out to continue the struggle. We have gotten minimum wage but we have to press for its implementation as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery other thing that will make the welfare of Nigerian workers to be worthwhile, we\u2019d be involved in it. We\u2019d not listen to any distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know that I was this loved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maxwell Okpara, deputy lead counsel of the NLC president, said \u201cthere is no cause for alarm. What we heard was quite different from what was in the invitation letter\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow that they have learnt their lessons and corrected themselves, we have taken it in that manner. The police said they just wanted to ask the NLC president one or two questions in respect to the tenant that is here,\u201d Okpara added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat does not mean that we are going to relent because we don\u2019t know what will come up next. We will get ourselves prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are also using this medium to ask for the release or prosecution of all those arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protest. They have been detained for longer than stipulated by law.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
