Comrade Joe Ajaero, a former Labour reporter who has risen to lead the Labour movement in Nigeria as the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), was recently battered in his line of duty by hoodlums while in police custody. Imo State Police Command spokesman, Okoye Henry, had claimed that Ajaero was not arrested during the November 1, 2023 protest in Owerri over unpaid workers’ salaries. Henry said Ajaero was in “protective custody”. The sort of “protection” he received shocked well-meaning Nigerians. In this interview, Ajaero addresses issues that have featured between Labour and government since President Bola Tinubu was sworn-in on May 29, 2023 till date.
