Ajaero Could Have Fled Nigeria If Allowed To Travel – Ex-DSS Boss

A former Assistant Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), Dennis Amachree, on Tuesday, claimed the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, is under investigation for alleged terrorism financing and related offences.

He noted that Ajaero, who is under investigation, is not supposed to leave Nigeria.

While speaking on Channels TV, he said, “There is an ongoing investigation, he (Ajaero) cannot leave the country, let him remain in the country whilst investigations are going on.

“For terrorism financing which he (Ajaero) has been accused of, and which is under investigation, he cannot leave the country. Even if he is leaving the country, where is he going?

“Remember, the main man (Andrew Wynne) that was suspected of financing terrorism is his tenant and I don’t think Ajaero is going to go to London without talking to that person because he is in London running his mouth.”

The ex-DSS director said the person of Ajaero is different from the office of the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) which he currently occupies. He said Ajaero is being investigated on a personal note and not as NLC boss.

Amachree said Ajaero must have been on the watch list of security agencies for him to be stopped and picked up at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Monday morning.

The former DSS director alleged that the labour leader could have fled Nigeria like wanted Binance executive Nadeem Anjarwalla if allowed to travel to the United Kingdom on Monday.

He said, “Joe Ajaero has a terrorism case to answer and he is not above the law,” adding that the intelligence agencies in Nigeria should be doing everything to repatriate Wynne from Britain to Nigeria.
