Following the interrogation of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Joe Ajaero by the police on Thursday, details of the encounter have come to the fore.
Ajaero was quizzed over allegations of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime by the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) arm of the Police.
A source who spoke with Vanguard revealed that the interrogation, which did not last up to 30 minutes, was on the operator of the Iva Valley Bookshop on the second floor of Labour House.
According to the information, Ajaero shared that the suspect was only a tenant of NLC and that their relationship was that of landlord-tenant.
It was gathered that the NLC President said that the suspect does not consult for the NLC, adding that there was never any telephone conversation or written communication between them.
“At some point, Comrade Ajaro was almost infuriated because they (interrogators) were just calling Joseph Ajaero without reference to his official position as NLC President.
‘’In a normal situation, the Police ought to have just called the NLC president for the invitation and not write him.
“They failed to do so because of their sinister motives. In all, it was like a friendly chat that did not last up to 30 minutes,’’ the source shared.
