JUST IN: DSS Arrests NLC President, Ajaero

Operatives of the Department of the State Service (DSS) have arrested the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Joe Ajaero.

It was gathered that Ajaero was arrested Monday morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

He was about to board a flight to the United Kingdom for an official assignment when DSS picked him up.

He was reportedly en route to attend a conference organized by the Trade Union Congress (TUC), which is scheduled to take place today in the UK.

While the exact details and reasons behind his arrest remain unclear, sources indicate that Ajaero has since been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) for further investigation.
