The President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, leader of the nation's main labour union, has been arrested by Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. The arrest has drawn strong condemnation from the United Action Front of Civil Society. The DSS's actions come amid heightened tensions following the government's treason charges against protesters. Socialist Labour has vowed to picket Abuja High Court on Wednesday to demand the release of all detained #EndBadGovernance protesters.
