Former Assistant Director of the Department of State Services, DSS, Dennis Amachree has opined that labour leader Joe Ajaero who is under investigation for alleged terrorism financing and related offences should not have attempted to leave the country until the investigations are complete.
Amachree who made this statement in an interview emphasized that Ajaero’s investigation is a personal matter, separate from his role as President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.
According to Amachree, Ajaero’s status as a person of interest is distinct from his position as NLC leader, stressing that he is being investigated individually, not in his capacity as a labour leader.

Amachree suggested that Ajaero must have been on the watch list of security agencies to have been stopped and detained at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Monday morning.
He said: “There is an ongoing investigation; he (Ajaero) cannot leave the country. Let him remain in the country whilst investigations are going on.
“For terrorism financing which he (Ajaero) has been accused of, and which is under investigation, he cannot leave the country. Even if he is leaving the country, where is he going?
“Remember, the main man (Andrew Wynne) that was suspected of financing terrorism is his tenant and I don’t think Ajaero is going to go to London without talking to that person because he is in London running his mouth.”
