NLC to Fly Brutalised Ajaero Abroad for Medical Treatment

Paschal Emeka, Abuja | Posted November 2, 2023

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) says it is contemplating the possibility of taking it President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, abroad for medical treatment.

Benson Upah, media head of the NLC, disclosed on Thursday that the union is considering a foreign medical trip for Ajaero due to the nature of injuries sustained in Imo on Wednesday.

“Because of the deteriorating situation, talks are being held about taking him outside the country. He is currently in Nigeria,” he said.

Recall that on Wednesday, Ajaero was allegedly arrested from the Imo state council secretariat of the NLC in Owerri by heavily armed Police officers.

The NLC said Ajaero was beaten and blindfolded immediately after he was arrested by security operatives.

The union said the NLC President was taken to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Owerri for medical treatment.

Denying the arrest, the Imo state Police Command said the NLC President was taken into protective custody to avoid being lynched by a mob.

The Police said Ajaero had a heated argument with some individuals who resisted the picketing of the airport in Imo.
