A Lawyer representing the Nigeria Labour Congress, Maxwell Opara has alleged that the NLC President, Joe Ajaero was arrested by the DSS while he was on his way to address other Nations workers in the UK.

He argued that this arrest by the DSS sends a negative image of the country to other nations. He also expressed frustration about being denied access to see Ajaero and how they were being told to leave by the DSS. He raised concerns about the legality of the arrest and the interrogation process while he argued that Ajaero was being denied the opportunity to have a legal practitioner of his choice.

He said in an interview with AIT From 19:08, ”There is no synergy between the police and the DSS but that is not even the issue. Somebody was going on a National assignment to go and address the World. Joe Ajaero was to address workers from other nations in UK and you arrested him at the Airport. Do you know the image and the signal that you are sending about the country to other Nations?

When we got the information and we went to Labour house and they confirmed that it was the DSS that was behind it. And when we went to the DSS, they refused all access to see Ajaero. They said that we should go and that anytime they are ready, they will invite us. And we said are you going to interrogate Ajaero without a legal practitioner of his choice. So they said they are done with us, they were very arrogant about it and we cannot fight them. And so we had to leave.”….FindMorë
