The President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, has returned to the Labour House after honouring the invitation of the police.
Ajaero reported at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on Thursday accompanied by human rights lawyer Femi Falana, SAN, and others.
His invitation by the police allegedly about an investigation bordering on terrorism financing had generated controversy with the NLC and other labour unions accusing the Federal Government of attempting to intimidate labour leaders.
Before honouring the invitation, labour members had gathered at the headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Thursday in solidarity with their President.
According to the police authorities, Ajaero is to answer questions on his alleged involvement in terrorism financing, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable felony.
The invitation came in the wake of a night raid by the police on the NLC national secretariat in Abuja.
Earlier, the NLC National Executive Council held an emergency meeting in the early hours of August 20, where they condemned the action.
The Council described the allegations against Ajaero as trumped-up and politically motivated to silence organised labour.
They said that the police invitation to Ajaero was too short and asked for a postponement of his appearance
