Barely 24 hours after the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero was interrogated at the Force Headquarters over terrorism financing, the Nigeria Police Force has again invited him along with the Secretary General of the union, Emmanuel Ugboaja.

The letter of invitation dated August 28, 2024, was signed by CP Rufus Alajide for Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Intelligence Department. But in a dramatic shift from the initial case of terrorism financing, the latest invitation is in furtherance of investigation into alleged criminal intimidation, malicious damage to properties and conducts likely to cause breach of public peace.
