Lawyer to Joe Ajaero, National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Femi Falana, has said Ajaero would honour the invitation of the Nigeria Police Force on August 29.
He said Ajaero would not be able to honour the invitation immediately, due to a prior engagement scheduled before the police invitation was received.
The police had on Monday invited Ajaero for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing, treasonable felony, cybercrime and other related offences.
According to the invitation letter dated August 19, and signed by ACP Adamu Muazu on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team, the police warned that a warrant of arrest would be issued if Ajaero failed to appear for interrogation on Tuesday.
However, in a letter dated August 20 and signed by Samuel Ogala on behalf of Femi Falana, it was noted that the NLC president was unavailable and would honour the invitation on Wednesday, August 29, 2024.
Citing section 36 of the 1999 constitution, Falana requested the details of the allegations levelled against Ajaero.
“Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of section 36 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as altered, Comrade Ajaero requests for the details and nature of the allegations of Criminal Conspiracy, Terrorism Financing, Treasonable Felony, Subversion and Cybercrime levelled against him.
“While awaiting your positive response to this letter, please accept the assurances of our highest esteem,” the letter added.
