The Department of State Services has granted administrative bail to the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero.

He was released a few minutes before the 12midnight injunction issued by the organized labour.

Omoyele Sowore, a pro-democracy activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, announced his release in a tweet on Monday night.

“BREAKING: The fascist regime of @officialABAT has released the @NLCHeadquarters President Joe Ajaero from @OfficialDSSNG custody on bail,” he wrote on X.com.

The Peoples Democratic Party, New Nigeria Peoples Party, and Social Democratic Party on Monday criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration following the arrest of Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, and the raid on the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project’s Abuja office by the Department of State Services.

Ajaero was arrested on Monday morning at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his way to the United Kingdom for an official assignment.

The NLC president was billed to attend the Trade Union Congress conference in London, which begins today.
