NLC General Secretary, Comrade Emmanuel Ugboaja, communicated this in a circular to all affiliates, state chapters, and national officers. The circular instructs state chapter leaders to organize peaceful processions to their respective police headquarters for a prayer session.

The police had summoned Ajaero for questioning regarding alleged involvement in terrorism financing, among other charges. Ajaero requested to delay his appearance due to prior commitments and has agreed to meet with the police on August 29.

The NLC’s circular emphasized their stance against actions perceived as attempts to intimidate union leaders and workers. It outlined plans for solidarity actions, including a call for members in Abuja to gather at the NLC National Headquarters by 8:00 AM on August 29 to accompany Ajaero. Members in state capitals are instructed to assemble at their state secretariats and march peacefully to their State Police Headquarters for a prayer session.

The circular, titled “Mobilization for Peaceful Procession and Prayer Session in Solidarity,” underscores the NLC’s commitment to opposing actions perceived as unjust and aimed at suppressing workers’ voices. Members are urged to maintain peace and order during the procession and prayer session.
