Ajaero, accompanied by fellow labour leaders and NLC legal representatives, is expected at the IRT Complex, Old Abattoir by Guzape Junction, Abuja, by 10am.
The invitation has raised concerns among national and international civil rights groups, particularly regarding the potential implications for workers’ rights and civil liberties in Nigeria.
Already, NLC, in response to the police invitation, issued a warning of a potential nationwide strike if the Police eventually detain the labour leader.
Speaking to this newspaper, NLC head of information and public affairs, Comrade Benson Upah, expressed optimism that the police would conduct themselves lawfully and responsibly.
Upah emphasised the importance of the police adhering to legal boundaries during the engagement, which, according to him, may either ease or escalate tensions between the government and organised labour.
He said, “Ajaero will appear today; it depends on what the police do. I’m hoping that the police, as a responsible organisation, conduct themselves well”.
