Following the arrest of Joe Ajaero, national president of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), the union has issued a red warning to all Nigerian workers and allied unions.
Earlier, DSS agents apprehended Ajaero on Monday morning.
DSS agents arrested Ajaero at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja when he was boarding a trip to the United Kingdom for an official assignment for the union.
In a tweet on its official X feed, the NLC requested the immediate release of its national president.
“We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Congress President, Comrade Joe Ajaero,” it wrote.
The union further recommended that “all affiliate unions, state councils, civil society allies and all patriotic Nigerians should be on red alert”.
The NLC president was recently summoned by the Nigeria Police Force for interrogation about an alleged relation to terrorist financing and other connected offences.
Following the invitation, the union pledged to shut down the nation’s economy if Ajaero was jailed.
