The Department of State Services (DSS) has granted administrative bail to the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero.
Pro-democracy activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, announced his release in a tweet on Monday night.
“BREAKING: The fascist regime of @officialABAT has released the @NLCHeadquarters President Joe Ajaero from @OfficialDSSNG custody on bail”, he wrote on X.com.
Earlier on Monday, NLC issued a deadline of midnight to the Federal Government to unconditionally release Ajaero, or face dire consequences.
It therefore fixed a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting for Tuesday, 9 am to take appropriate response if Ajaero was not released.
