Details of the interview between the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero and the police have emerged.
The police had interviewed Ajaero over an ongoing investigation of one of the EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protesters.
The police had summoned Ajaero for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable felony.
On Thursday, Ajaero in the company of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Femi Falana and a coalition of lawyers stormed the police Intelligence Response Team, IRT command at Guzape as early as 10:20am.
Less than two hours later, the NLC President and his team of lawyers left the IRT.
A lawyer who was part of the team that accompanied Ajaero told DAILY POST that the police had nothing on Ajaero.
The lawyer who wished to be anonymous said: “It was a very friendly interaction, they summoned him to find out if he was in the know of somebody they were investigating.
“The person was one of the protesters and they wanted to know if he was one of the tenants of Labour House, he had a bookshop about six years ago.
“Even there we enjoined them to release all the protesters or charge them to court.
“Ajaero has no business with the arrest of anybody. We told them that the Labour House is on the 10th floor and the person they arrested is on the second floor.
“The person’s bookshop they came to ransack is on the second floor, so, Ajaero has nothing to do with being invited by the police.
“We told them that they should have just placed a call instead of writing to him and making it look serious.”
