The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has summoned what it described as an emergency National Executive Council meeting following the invitation of its National President, Joe Ajaero, by the police for allegedly financing terrorism.
The NEC meeting will be held on Tuesday (today) with all heads of affiliates and state chapters of NLC expected to be in attendance.
The notice of the meeting titled, “Notice of emergency National Executive Council meeting,” was signed by the NLC’s Secretary General, Emmanuel Ugboaja.
The notice read, “I bring you fraternal greetings from the congress headquarters.
“You are invited to the emergency National Executive Council Hybrid meeting scheduled as follows:Tuesday, August 20, 2024; 8am

On Monday, Ajaero was invited by the police on charges connected to “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, reasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime”.
The letter of invitation, dated 19th of August, 2024, and signed by ACP Adamu Mu’azu on behalf of the Commissioner of Police Intelligence, said Ajaero’s name was mentioned in ongoing investigations connected to “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, reasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime”.
