Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have picked up the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero.
Security sources disclosed that Ajaero, who is presently being grilled at the secret police headquarters in Abuja, was picked up on Monday.
Although details of the arrest and the reasons are still sketchy, the sources said he has been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency, NIA.
Ajaero, sources said, was arrested this morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Ajaero was about to board a flight to the United Kingdom, UK, for an official assignment when DSS picked him up.
One of the sources, who was familiar with the development, said he was arrested over alleged terrorism financing – the allegations police had earlier levelled against him.
It was gathered that Ajaero was billed to attend the conference of Trade Union Congress, TUC, in the UK holding today. (Agency Report)
