NLC PRESIDENT, AJAERO, FACES POLICE PROBE OVER ALLEGED TERRORISM FINANCING

The president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, is set to appear before the Nigeria Police today for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing, criminal conspiracy, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime.

Ajaero, who received a formal invitation from the police on August 19, 2024, will be accompanied by labour leaders and NLC legal representatives at the IRT Complex in Abuja.

The head of information and public affairs of the NLC, Comrade Benson Upah, expressed hope that the police would conduct themselves lawfully and responsibly during the engagement.

“Ajaero will appear today; it depends on what the police do. I’m hoping that the police, as a responsible organisation, conduct themselves well,” Upah said.

Ajaero’s appearance before the police is scheduled for 10 am today at the IRT Complex, Old Abattoir by Guzape Junction, Abuja.

It can be recalled that in response to the police invitation, the NLC warned of a potential nationwide strike if Ajaero is detained.

    NORTHERN EMIR BANS CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN CHRISTIAN HOMES The Emir of Rano, Ambassador Muhammad Isa Umaru, has placed a strict ban on church activities inside residential buildings within the Emirate. The directive follows a wave of petitions from concerned residents, prompting the Emir to set up a special investigative committee. Findings from the committee confirmed that a church in Yadi Quarters, Rano town, was conducting services in a residential house without adhering to proper legal procedures. Rano Emirate is home to 27 certified churches, where Christians worship freely without interference. Findings from the committee confirmed that a church in Yadi Quarters, Rano town, was conducting services in a residential house without adhering to proper legal procedures. Rano Emirate is home to 27 certified churches, where Christians worship freely without interference. However, unauthorized worship in residential buildings sparked discontent among locals, leading to formal complaints. Acting on the committee’s report, the Emir swiftly ordered an immediate halt to all church activities in residential buildings to prevent any potential breach of peace. Committee Secretary, Alhaji Umar Isa Sarki, revealed that multiple petitions raised concerns over the legality of the services being held in private homes. Efforts to obtain a reaction from the Kano chapter chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.

    TOO MANY PEOPLE COME TO WORK IN UK ILLEGALLY – PRIME MINISTER, VOWS TO END IT UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to take decisive action against illegal immigration, vowing to put an end to the practice of individuals entering the country to work illegally. In a statement via X on Monday, Prime Minister Starmer emphasized the need for stricter controls, stating: “Too many people are able to come to the UK and work illegally. We are putting an end to it.” In a related development, Kemi Badenoch, UK’s conservative leader, had revealed that the Conservative Party would implement significant changes in the country’s immigration policy. According to her proposal, immigration reforms will include extending the waiting period for ‘Indefinite Leave to Remain’ (ILR) from five to ten years. Additionally, immigrants will now have to wait five years after obtaining ILR before applying for British citizenship, increasing the total process to at least 15 years. Badenoch’s proposal also introduces stricter restrictions on eligibility. Individuals with criminal records, those dependent on social housing, or those claiming benefits will be permanently barred from settling in the UK. Furthermore, anyone who enters the country illegally or overstays their visa will be banned from ever obtaining leave to remain or British citizenship
