Renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, led a team of lawyers, including Maxwell Opara and Deji Adeyanju, to the Force Headquarters in Abuja, accompanying Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing.
In a strategic move, Falana advised the NLC to call off its planned solidarity march to the Police Headquarters, opting instead for a more subdued approach to avoid any potential chaos.

With Falana at the helm, the legal team is working tirelessly to ensure Ajaero’s rights are protected and the allegations are thoroughly investigated. The NLC has vehemently denied the allegations, calling them baseless and an attempt to silence the Labour movement.
As the situation unfolds, union members gathered at the Labour House, awaiting updates on Ajaero’s questioning. A visible police presence was seen near the Labour House, adding to the tense atmosphere.
Falana’s expertise and guidance have been instrumental in navigating this complex situation, and his team remains committed to securing a just outcome for Ajaero and the NLC. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
