Dennis Amachree, a former Assistant Director at the Department of State Services (DSS), has shed light on why labor leader Joe Ajaero is currently unable to travel outside Nigeria. According to Amachree, Ajaero is under investigation for alleged terrorism financing and related offenses, which means he should remain in the country until the probe is complete.

Amachree clarified that the investigation targets Ajaero personally, not in his capacity as the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). He noted that Ajaero’s recent detention at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport indicates he is on a security watch list.

Amachree emphasized that, given the gravity of the accusations, including Ajaero’s alleged connection to terrorism financing, it’s crucial for him to stay in Nigeria while the investigation unfolds.
