Human rights activist Femi Falana, SAN, along with Maxwell Opara and Deji Adeyanju, were among the lawyers who accompanied Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, to the Force Headquarters for questioning over allegations including terrorism financing.
Initially, the Labour movement had mobilized its members to accompany Ajaero to the Police Headquarters in a show of solidarity. However, Chief Falana, who serves as the NLC’s legal counsel, advised the workers to remain at the Labour House to prevent a chaotic situation at the Police premises.
Falana assured that the matter would be appropriately handled by the lawyers from his chambers and others in the entourage.
As workers from various unions gathered at the Labour House in anticipation, a detachment of Police officers was observed in the vicinity.
