Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
Ajaero was apprehended this morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja while preparing to board a flight to the United Kingdom for an official engagement.
Although the specific reasons for his arrest remain unclear, Ajaero was reportedly en route to attend the Trade Union Congress (TUC) conference, which is taking place today in the UK.
