Union leader Joe Ajero's arrest, criticized by the United Action Front of Civil Society, shows a concerning trend in Nigeria towards authoritarian tactics against dissent.
The United Action Front of Civil Society denounced the arrest as a 'Gestapo manner,' highlighting a troubling regression in how authorities deal with political voices.
Ajero, president of Nigeria’s largest union, was detained after threatening strike action against the government’s drastic 39% fuel price hike amid rising living costs.
High fuel prices are exacerbating inflation and increasing dissent in Nigeria, with Ajero's situation reflecting broader issues of civil rights and government accountability.
