Comrade Joe Ajaero by SP Moshood said, \u201cWe were at the Labour House to submit this (letter of invitation) but the place was locked, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upah clarified, \u201cWe find this curious because the staff were in the office beyond 6 pm. We also note that Comrade Joe Ajaero was not addressed by his official title of President of the Nigeria Labour Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClearly, the last has not been heard about the raid on the headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreceding the raid, Congress had advised the government to dialogue with the organisers of the protest even as Congress had clearly stated it was not part of the protest.<\/p>\n<p>Upah continued, \u201cCongress criticised the police for the high casualty rate during the protest. Congress in its NEC communique after the raid expressed outrage at the behaviour of the police and demanded an apology from both the police and government,\u201d among others.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigeria Labour Congress on Monday evening confirmed the invitation of its president, Joe Ajaero, by the police over issues bordering on alleged terrorism financing.
