Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has narrated his ordeal in police custody after his arrest in Owerri, Imo State.

The NLC claimed he was beaten, adding that God must have taken extra time to create him due to the beating he received while in police custody.

Recall that while in Owerri, the Imo state capital on Wednesday, Ajaero, who was mobilizing Imo workers for a mega protest rally in the state over an alleged violation and abuse of rights and privileges of workers by the state government, was attacked by miscreants.

He was later whisked away by men of the Nigeria Police Force.

Speaking after he was released, the NLC president said the police threatened to drag him to court.

According to him: “If you say interim order, it elapses with time; if the court issues another one, then it’s a different thing. I told them interim order ends within one week or two; they now kept the letter and told me they can prosecute me.

“I told them it’s the same court that can institute a contempt charge; you just can’t start prosecuting me.

“They beat me; God must have taken extra time to create me because of the kind of beating I received.”
