NLC President Joe Ajaero Arrested by DSS at Abuja Airport
Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has been detained by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The NLC leader was apprehended on Monday morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, just as he was preparing to board a flight to the United Kingdom for an official assignment.
According to reports from Vanguard, Ajaero was about to embark on the trip when DSS operatives intercepted and detained him.
While the reasons for his arrest remain unclear, the news has generated significant attention given his prominent role in labor matters within the country.
Details surrounding the circumstances of his arrest are still emerging, and authorities are yet to issue an official statement on the matter.
The situation is expected to develop as more information becomes available, drawing considerable interest from both the public and labor stakeholders.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
