The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to shut down the country if the police detain its President, Joe Ajaero.
The organised labour gave the warning on Thursday at the Labour House in Abuja where various affiliate union leaders gathered early morning in solidarity with Ajaero.
The police had invited Ajaero over alleged terrorism financing, subversion and cybercrime after the #EndBadGovernance protests held between August 1 and 10, 2024.
Ajaero, in company with his lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), later proceeded to the office of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) at the disbanded SARS facility located at Guzape.
General Secretary of the NLC, Emmanuel Ugboaja while addressing the members accused the Federal Government of chasing shadows, mockingly saying Ajaero was never on the run.
They drove out of the NLC Headquarters at about 10:00 am.
