The police have requested the presence of the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, for an investigation into alleged criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime.

This was disclosed on Monday in a letter of invitation signed by the assistant commissioner of police, ACP Adamu Muazu, on behalf of the deputy commissioner of police, Intelligence Response Team.

According to the letter, the police are investigating a case in which Mr Ajaero was implicated and, as a result, require his presence for an interview.

The letter stated, “This office is investigating a case of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime in which you have been implicated.”
