The Nigeria Police Force has released the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero after a “short interview”.
Recall that the Nigerian Police Intelligence Response Team, IRT, in Abuja had invited Mr Ajaero over allegations of terrorism financing, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable felony.
A letter from the IRT, signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police Adamu Muazu, directed Mr Ajaero to appear for an interview at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at the IRT complex located at Guzape Junction in Abuja.
However, the NLC’s legal team replied to the police, saying Mr Ajaero could not honour the invitation as scheduled.
But the NLC president honoured the invitation today (Thursday) in company of Human Rights activists, Femi Falana, SAN, Maxwell Opara, Deji Adeyanju, among other lawyers.
Mr Ajaero was allowed to leave immediately.
A member of the team of lawyers disclosed that there was no need to detain or request for bail as the interview lasted very short.
