The Department of State Services (DSS) has released Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), on administrative bail.
The release came after the NLC threatened a nationwide protest if Ajaero wasn’t released by midnight.
Ajaero was initially arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on his way to the United Kingdom for a global Trade Union Congress meeting. The NLC had warned that they would not stand idly by while the rights of their leaders and members were trampled upon, and demanded Ajaero’s immediate and unconditional release
