The State Security Service’s (SSS) arrest of Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja is a brazen act of intimidation that exposes the Tinubu regime’s blatant disregard for democratic norms and human rights.
Ajaero’s ‘crime’? Being a vocal advocate for Nigerian workers’ rights and liberty.
The State Security Service’s phantom allegations of plotting against the Federal Government are a clear attempt to silence a prominent critic of the government’s policies and intimidate others into submission.
This arrest is the latest in a series of brazen attempts to muzzle dissent and instill fear. The Tinubu regime, beset by incompetence and paranoia, has declared war on conscientious voices.
Treason charges are now wielded like a bludgeon to silence protesters, critics, and anyone daring to challenge the status quo.
The implications are far-reaching and chilling. This signals a regime increasingly intolerant of opposition, willing to trample on human rights, and determined to maintain power at all costs. Nigerians are being told their freedoms are conditional, their voices will be silenced, and dissent won’t be tolerated.

The international community must take note of these egregious abuses and impose severe sanctions on the agents of democratic destabilization in Nigeria. We cannot stand idly by while a democratically-elected government descends into tyranny.
Release Comrade Joe Ajaero now! End the reign of terror! Restore democracy and human rights in Nigeria! The Nigerian people demand justice, and the world must join them in this call.
