EDITORIAL – Tyranny Unleashed: The persecution of Comrade Joe Ajaero
The State Security Service (SSS) has arrested Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
This outrageous act of intimidation is a stark testament to the Tinubu regime’s utter disregard for democratic norms and human rights.
Ajaero’s real ‘crime’? Being frontal in agitating for the rights and liberty of Nigerian workers.
We condemn the phantom allegations bordering on plotting against the Federal Government which have been leveled against him.
The SSS’s actions are a clear attempt to silence a vocal 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, used to silence protesters, critics, and anyone daring to challenge the status quo.
The implications of this arrest are far-reaching and chilling. It signals a regime that is increasingly intolerant of opposition, willing to trample on human rights, and determined to maintain power at all costs.
The Nigerian people are being told that their freedoms are conditional, that their voices will be silenced, and that dissent will not be tolerated.
The international community must take note of these egregious abuses and impose severe sanctions on the agents of democratic destabilization in Nigeria.
Diaspora Digital Media insists that the world 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.
