The Nigeria Labour Congress President, Joe Ajaero ignored the police invitation on Tuesday stating that he has an engagement to attend today (Tuesday).
Dailyeconomy had earlier reported that the Nigeria Police Force in a letter signed by ACP Adamu Mu’azu on behalf of the Commissioner of Police Intelligence invited Ajaero for questioning on Tuesday in connection with allegations of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felonies, subversion, and cybercrime.
In a response letter sent through his lawyer on Tuesday, Ajaero mentioned that he had received a police invitation on Monday requesting his presence for interrogation on Tuesday, a day when he had a prior engagement planned.
Nonetheless, he stated that he would make arrangements to attend the interview on Wednesday, August 29, 2024.
The letter reads, “We are Solicitors to the Nigeria Labour Congress and its President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, on whose behalf we write this letter in respect of the above subject matter.
“We have the instructions of Comrade Joe Ajaero to inform you that he is unable to honour your invitation on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, 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; therefore, Comrade Ajaero is prepared for your interview on Wednesday, August 29, 2024.
“Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of section 36 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as altered, Comrade Ajaero requests for the details and nature of the allegations of Criminal Conspiracy, Terrorism Financing, Treasonable Felony, Subversion and Cybercrime levelled against him. While awaiting your positive response to this letter, please accept the assurances of our highest esteem.”
