The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has confirmed the release of its President, Joe Ajaero, from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS), after being detained for several hours.

According to Benson Upah, NLC’s head of information, Ajaero was freed late Monday night, as reported by the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).

Ajaero was taken into custody by DSS officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja while preparing to board a flight to the United Kingdom for a Trade Union Congress event.

His detention sparked concern within the NLC, which issued an ultimatum to the federal government, demanding his release by midnight on Monday.

After several hours in detention, Ajaero was finally released at 11:10 p.m. that night.

The NLC had earlier threatened to take action if their president was not freed within the given timeframe.

The arrest came amid reports that the secret police also raided the Abuja office of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), raising concerns about the government’s stance on civil liberties and union rights.

Ajaero’s release has provided temporary relief, but the incident has heightened tensions between the labor movement and the government, as many continue to question the motives behind his detention.
