The ongoing industrial fiasco of the Nigeria Labour Congress with the Imo State Government took a twist on Wednesday as its President, Joe Ajaero, was arrested by the police.
The Head of Information, NLC, Benson Upah, said Ajaero was picked up at the state secretariat of the congress and taken to an unknown location.
“President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, was picked up a few minutes ago from NLC state council secretariat by heavily armed policemen in Owerri and taken to an unknown destination,” Upah informed our correspondent via a text message.
The PUNCH reports that the NLC had vowed to mobilise its members for a total strike in Imo state starting Today, November 1, 2023.
Aaero, during a press briefing on Sunday, had accused the Imo State Government of “violating the rights of the Nigerian workers in the state.”
