The Lagos residence of the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, has been razed by fire.

The entire building was said to have been burnt down after a strange noise was heard from the roof, which was mistaken for foraging domestic animals.

The inferno exploded in a ball of fire as members scampered to safety with nothing salvaged from the building.

It was learnt that at the time of the incident, Ajaero was away in Geneva.

Reacting to the incident, Ajaero gave glory to God that no life was lost during the incident.

Ajaero-led NLC had called for a nationwide strike following the removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu.

However, the strike was suspended after intervention and negotiations by the Federal Government.
