The chambers of Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana, has written the Nigerian Police Force informing it of the inability of its client, the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, to honour the invitation of the Intelligence Response Team on allegations of Terrorism financing and Other crimes.

The chamber in the letter signed on its behalf by Donald Ogala on behalf of its principal partner said he needed more time to re-arrange his schedule and honour the invitation.

The chamber in the letter added that the letter got very late to him and that he has a previous engagement fixed for the day the invitation was supposed to have been honoured.

According to Falana’s chambers, the gravity of the offences he has been accused of demands that he has details of some of the issues raised against him.

The chamber added that this demands he has more time to study and be able to respond appropriately when he honours the invitation.

According to the letter, the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, is prepared to honour the invitation of the Police on the Wednesday 29th of August.
