Police Invitation Letter To NLC President Indicates Premeditated Decision On Ajaero’s guilt – Deji Adeyanju

By Ayodele Oni

A Human Rights Activist, Deji Adeyanju, has warned that the invitation of the President, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), by the Police may  overheat the polity.

Reacting to the invitation in a statement, Adeyanju pointed out that the contents of the letter were full of threat to the Labour leader.

He said that it appears from the invitation letter, that the Nigerian Police Force has already reached a premeditated decision on Joe Ajaero’s guilt.

Adeyanju:

“My attention has been drawn to a letter issued by the Nigerian Police Force on the 19th day of August, 2024, purporting to invite the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Joe Ajero, for an interview over a case of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion and cybercrime, in which his name was allegedly mentioned.

“The letter concluded with a threat of arrest if Mr. Joe Ajero does not honour the invitation.

“While I recognize the fact that the Nigerian Police Force has the power to invite anybody in relation to ongoing investigations, it is, however, imperative to sound a note of caution, as it appears from the invitation letter, that the Nigerian Police Force has already reached a premeditated decision on Joe Ajero’s guilt.

“I, therefore, call on the Inspector General of Police to call his officers to order and refrain from heating the polity, as we will not sit idle and watch Nigeria descend into fascism, the outcome of which no one can predict.”
