Police Wahala for NLC President Joe Ajaero, Dey Lock Gate
Di image resemble gate wey dey locked by police, wey dey illustrate di intense situation for Joe Ajaero NLC wahala.
Di Police summon Joe Ajaero, di Oga patapata for Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). Dem summon am for matter wey concern “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion and cybercrime.” Dis one na serious gbege as NLC dey para well well. Di head of NLC information, Benson Upah, yarn dis tori for newsmen for Abuja, and e no dey small pikin play at all.
Di tori start when di police send letter wey dem date August 19, wey ACP Adamu Mu’azu sign on top Commissioner of Police Intelligence behalf. Dem yan say Joe Ajaero name pop up for one investigation wey dey run sharp sharp. Di letter talk say make Ajaero carry himself waka go IRT Complex wey dey for Abattoir near Guzape Junction for 10:00am on top Tuesday August 20. Dem even say if Ajaero no show, dem go stamp warrant of arrest for am. You fit see say di Police dey serious for dis matter.
E no end dia o! One police officer wey be SP Moshood even send personal message give Ajaero say dem waka reach Labour House to deliver di letter, but di place lock. But di matter be say NLC still dey ask question, as dem wonder how dem no fit see di president wey dey office till 6pm. Di thing come dey suspicious, as dem no even address am well for di letter, dem no call am NLC President.
Before dis Police wahala start, NLC don talk say make government use ear hear di protest matter, dem even clarify say dem no get hand for di protest. Dem criticize di Police well well for di kind yawa wey happen for di protest, where people chop bullet anyhow. Dem expect say after di police raid NLC headquarters, government go apologize, but instead, police come dey add salt for injury with di kind summon wey dem send give Ajaero.
Na di NLC NEC wey dey very vexed dey talk say dis one na pure intimidation, harassment, and witch-hunt wey dey try cripple di Labour movement for Nigeria. NLC don call all dia members make dem ready for anything as dem no go gree make government use dem do football. Dem don warn government say if anything happen to Ajaero or any NLC leader, dem go start indefinite strike for midnight that very Tuesday.
As matter dey hot, Amnesty International sef no keep quiet. Dem condemn di Nigerian government for di way dem dey handle NLC leaders. Dem say di frequent harassment and attack on top Labour leaders na big sign say government no respect workers’ rights at all. Amnesty talk say di accusations against Ajaero no hold water, na just to punish and silence di labour union.
Amnesty International dey remind us how Ajaero chop serious beating for Imo State wey police join hand with thugs to deal with am, but no justice come out from di matter. Dem remind government say under international human rights law, workers get di right to organize, bargain collectively, and take industrial action without fear.
Dis one no be di first time wey police don raid NLC headquarters and carry documents, di Labour leaders sef don dey run up and down for safety since February when threats full ground because of strike action. Di whole thing dey like film wey no get end. Amnesty don tell Nigerian government say make dem stop dis kind intimidation because e no go end well at all. Di accusations against NLC and dem leaders na pure wayo, nothing dey under di matter.
As everything dey hot, NLC don make up dem mind say dem no go gree for dis nonsense. Dem don direct all affiliates and State Councils make dem ready for war. If dem touch Ajaero or any NLC leader, di whole country go enter indefinite strike. Di NEC even talk say make civil society groups and di general public join hand with dem to fight against di oppression wey government dey try carry put for workers’ body.
Di Labour Congress don stand gidigba say dem no go back down, dem go fight till di last kobo for justice, fairness, and di rule of law for Nigeria. Dem don tok say dem no go allow government use dem do yeye.
Di question wey everybody dey ask now be say, who wan remove Joe Ajaero from di scene? Who wan silence NLC? But as e be, NLC no go gree, dem don tanda like rock of Gibraltar, ready to face anything wey go come.
Di whole wahala dey like play, but e serious well well. E be like say di matter na only beginning because NLC don put all dia cards for table, and dem no dey joke at all at all.
