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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
