It said that the arrest of labour leaders, activists, protesters and innocent citizens could throw the nation into chaos.

National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, made this statement while reacting to the arrest and detention of Ajaero by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS.


Ologunagba said, “There is a need for caution, there was a protest in this country, but the government did not do anything.

“You arrest some people and say they were terrorists and you charge them to court. You say some people were the sponsors of the protest.

”We know those who sponsored the protest. The sponsor is hunger, the President and his people; arrest hunger and there will be no protest.
