The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, has declined an invitation from the Nigeria Police Force, citing prior commitments.
Ajaero’s lawyers, Falana and Falana Chambers, sent a letter to the Inspector General of Police expressing their disagreement.
The letter indicated that the police invitation, received yesterday, was too late because Ajaero had already committed to another activity.
The letter read in part: “We are solicitors to the Nigeria Labour Congress and its President, Joe Ajaero… We have the instructions of Ajaero to inform you that he is unable to honour your invitation on Tuesday, August 20, in view of the fact that your invitation letter was received by him yesterday. He has an engagement that had been fixed before the receipt of the invitation letter.”
The police had summoned Ajaero over allegations of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime.
