The Department of State Services (DSS) has released the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero.

According to sources within the agency, Ajaero was taken into custody on Monday morning due to his failure to honor an invitation extended to him by the DSS.

The source said the invitation was sent to him last week but he refused to honour it. The invitation, he said followed a petition filed by top NLC leaders against Ajaero.

He said the petition bordered on issues that threatened the stability of the nation.

The source explained that the agency’s new Director-General, Mr. Oluwatosin Ajayi inherited the petition upon assuming office less than two weeks ago and insisted on investigating the matter.

He said the NLC President was released last night after being quizzed for several hours.

The source explained, “You know that our new DG (Director-General), Mr. Oluwatosin Ajayi resumed duty less than two weeks ago. This was one of the petitions he inherited. He insisted that we invite the NLC president to clear the air on some of the allegations.

“Last week, we invited him (Ajaero) through the normal channel, which is on the telephone. A very senior director extended the invitation and was mandated to handle the investigation.

“Ajaero promised to come today, Monday. The next thing we heard was that Ajaero was sighted at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, trying to board an international flight.”
