The union handed down the threat on Tuesday morning at its headquarters, shortly after holding an emergency National Executive Council meeting to discuss the invitation of the NLC President by the police over the allegations.
Ajaero has agreed to honour the invitation, but has refused to show up today (20th- August- 2024) citing other engagements.
He has sent a letter to the Inspector general of police through his lawyers, Falana and Falana Chambers.
“We are solicitors to the Nigeria Labour Congress and its President, Joe Ajaero, on whose behalf we write this letter in respect of the above subject matter.
“We have the instructs of Ajaero to inform you that he is unable to honour your invitation on Tuesday, August, 20th, in view of the fact that your invitation letter was received by him yesterday. “He has an engagement that had been fixed before the receipt of the invitation letter.”
However, Comrade Ado Kabiru Sani, the Deputy President of the NLC, has alerts the nation’s workforce to remain on standby for further directives should the police act otherwise.
His words: “As a committed labor center, we will honor the invitation of the police because we are not a faceless organization, but we are working with our lawyer for an extension of time.
“In the event that the President is arrested, all workers will down tools immediately. We should wait for further directives from our leadership.”
