The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Joe Ajaero, has been released from custody on bail.

Ajaero, who confirmed his release to Channels TV, said the secret police allowed him to go home around past 11 pm on Monday.

The Nigeria Labour Congress president said he was grilled for about 15 hours since his arrest around 7am at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Ajaero, however, said his travel passport was seized by the secret police.

The labour leader said though he was detained by the DSS, some police officers also came around to grill him at the DSS office in Abuja over the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protests that took place in August.

Ajaero said he was quizzed over alleged terrorism financing involving a British national, Andrew Wynne.

The labour leader was on his way to the United Kingdom on Monday for a Trade Union Congress (TUC) event when he was arrested at Abuja airport.
