Nigeria's DSS Arrests NLC Leader Joe Ajaero After Fuel Price Criticism
Sep 9, 2024, 11:47 AM
The Department of State Services (DSS) of Nigeria has arrested Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. The arrest, which took place on Monday, has sparked widespread condemnation from various organizations, including the NLC and the United Action Front of Civil Society. The NLC has described the detention as a 'brazen act of lawlessness and intimidation' and demanded Ajaero's immediate and unconditional release. The reasons behind Ajaero's arrest have not yet been disclosed, but it follows his criticism of the government's recent 39% fuel price hike. The NLC is currently holding a closed-door meeting to discuss the situation and may declare a nationwide strike in response.
