In response to the Nigeria Police invitation of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) president, Joe Ajaero over terrorism financing allegations, the leadership of the union has asked its members to prepare for a nationwide strike if need be by midnight of Tuesday, 21 August.
The labour centre said in a communique issued after its emergency National Executive Council in Abuja that it had directed all the state chapters and affiliates to mobilise workers for an indefinite strike from midnight if anything happened to the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, who was invited by the police for questioning over terrorism financing allegation.
The police invitation to Ajaero comes weeks after policemen conducted a night raid on the NLC national secretariat in Abuja.
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, while justifying the raid, said the police were on the trail of one of the terrorists who masterminded the crisis in Sudan.
