The allegations were detailed in a letter dated August 19, 2024, and signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Adamu Muazu, on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team. The letter summoned Ajaero for questioning and warned of a possible arrest warrant if he failed to attend.

In an interview with ARISE NEWS, NLC’s head of the information department, Benson Upah, strongly condemned the charges, suggesting they were intended to undermine the Labour movement. Upah emphasized that the NLC’s mission focuses on promoting Nigerians’ integrity, sovereignty, and welfare, not engaging in criminal activities.

He stated, “The accusations of conspiracy, treasonable felony, terrorism financing, and cybercrime are unfounded. Our primary concern is Nigeria’s integrity and the well-being of its people, not criminal behavior. These charges are a misuse of state power aimed at discrediting us. We lack the resources to engage in such crimes, making these allegations nothing more than plain mischief.
