The NLC president was billed to attend the Trade Union Congress conference in London, which begins today.
Details and reasons for the arrest are still sketchy as of the time of filing this report.
This newspaper had reported that Ajearo along with the Secretary General of the union, Emmanuel Ugboaja were invited by the Nigerian Police over alleged terrorism financing charges.
The invitation letter was dated August 28, 2024, a day before Ajaero honoured an earlier invitation at the Force Headquarters Abuja.
The letter signed by CP Rufus Alajide for Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Intelligence Department, said the latest invitation is in furtherance of investigation into alleged “criminal intimidation, malicious damage to properties and conducts likely to cause breach of public peace”.
