Recall that Ajaero was initially invited by the police authorities to appear on Tuesday, August 20 but he declined to honour the invitation on account that it was too sudden and that he had other official engagements for that same date.
Legal counsel to NLC, and Human Rights Activists, Femi Falana had instead written the police authorities, informing them that his client can only honour the invitation on August 29th, 2024(today).
As at the time of filing this brief report most of the affiliate unions making up the NLC had already converged at the headquarters to accompany Ajaero down to the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) police command in Abuja.
It was also gathered that while Ajaero and the lawyer will report at the IRT Command, former SARS office in Abuja, the unions will match to the Force headquarters with their placards.
Among some of the unions spotted on ground to accompany the President includes Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria JUSUN, National Union of Telecommunication Employees NUPTE, Radio and Television and Act Workers Union (RATTAWU) among others.
General Secretary of the NLC, Emma Ugboaja while addressing the members accused the Federal Government of chasing shadows, mockingly saying Ajaero was never on the run besides which money does the NLC President has to fund terrorism.
