Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has responded to allegations by the Nigeria Police accusing its National President, Joe Ajaero, of links to terrorism financing, treasonable felony and other related offenses.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Monday invited Joe Ajaero for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing, treasonable felony, cybercrime and other related offenses.<\/p>\n

The invitation was contained in a letter dated August 19, 2024, and signed by ACP Adamu Muazu on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team.<\/p>\n

According to the letter, sighted by our correspondent, the police warned that a warrant of arrest would be issued if Ajaero failed to appear for interrogation on Tuesday (today).<\/p>\n

However, when contacted by DAILY POST, the spokesperson for the Congress, Benson Upah, denied the police\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n

He questioned how any member of the congress could be involved in financing terrorism when they are struggling to feed.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me tell you, we don\u2019t even have money to eat; where is the money we are going to use to finance terrorism? I laugh!<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this country, when we talk about people who care about sovereignty, dignity, and safety, it is us, the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see it as an inalienable duty and responsibility to keep this country safe for every one of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if the NLC president would be honouring the invitation, Benson said, \u201cWe are law-abiding citizens. If there is any need for our attention, we are duty-bound to honour such invitations.\u201d<\/p>\n
