In a developing story, new information has come to light regarding the arrest of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President Joe Ajaero. Contrary to earlier reports, it has been revealed that the arrest was not carried out by the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to a source close to the government, the operation was in fact conducted by operatives from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
Gatekeepers News reports that Ajaero was apprehended at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja as he was preparing to board a flight to the United Kingdom (UK) for an official assignment.
Initial reports indicated that Ajaero, who was scheduled to attend a Trade Union Congress (TUC) conference in the UK today, had been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA). However, this information is now being reevaluated in light of the new details surrounding the arrest.
The reasons for the arrest and the current status of the NLC President remain unclear at this time.
This story continues to develop, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
