The council has also summoned an emergency meeting of the National Executive Council to take further action against the government’s “authoritarianism and lawlessness.”

The commique read, “The NLC demands the immediate and unconditional release of Comrade Joe Ajaero before 12 midnight today.

 

“The council unequivocally condemns the brazen and illegal detention of Comrade Joe Ajaero by the Nigerian state without any legal warrant or justification.”
