NLC President, Joe Ajaero
The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero; and the Secretary General, Emmanuel Ugboaja will be questioned by the Nigeria Police Force on September 30, 2024.
They will be grilled over petitions written against the NLC, The PUNCH learnt on Monday.
Human rights lawyer and counsel for the NLC, Femi Falana, SAN, in an earlier interview with our correspondent had stated that Ajaero and Ugboaja were not re-invited by the police as regards terrorism financing as reported by some media outlets.
Falana had clarified that the duo were invited due to petitions written against them by Airpeace.
Airpeace had accused them of “public disruption.”
But the airline, on Monday, noted that it had settled amicably with the leadership of the NLC.
However speaking to our correspondent on Monday evening, Falana noted that the police would now quiz Ajaero and Ugboaja on September 30.
“Airpeace itself noted that it has withdrawn the petition. So, why does the police still want to quiz them on September 30? Yes, they have agreed to the September 30 extension,” he said.
Ajaero and Ugboaja, through their lawyer, Falana, had demanded an extended timeline for the invite extended to them by the police.
