Nigerian Police Respond To Claims Of NLC President’s Arrest, Affirm Protective Custody....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Imo State Police Command has refuted allegations of arresting Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC). Okoye Henry, the spokesperson for the Imo State Police Command, issued a statement clarifying that Joe Ajaero was not arrested but was placed in protective custody.

The statement from the Imo command explained the circumstances: “The Imo State Police Command wishes to clarify certain vague reports that suggested the arrest of Comrade Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, in Owerri. It is important to emphasize that the NLC President was in Owerri as part of the Congress’s preparations to mobilize workers for a major protest rally in the state.”

According to Okoye, during the planning process, there were discussions about potentially locking down essential facilities, including the airport, which led to confrontations and heated arguments involving some workers and other individuals. Eventually, a mob attacked the NLC President.

Upon receiving this information, the Imo Police Command promptly dispatched police officers to the scene. The officer in charge used his discretion to place the NLC President in protective custody at the State Command Headquarters to ensure his safety and prevent any harm during the ensuing altercation. The Commissioner of Police then directed that Joe Ajaero be taken to the Police Medical Services in Owerri for medical attention due to the attack. He has been provided with sufficient security to continue his lawful activities for the day.

The police’s response comes in the wake of threats from the labor organization to initiate a nationwide strike in reaction to the reported arrest of their national president.
