“You are therefore invited to interview the undersigned on Tuesday 20th August, 2024 by 10:00 am prompt, at IRT Complex, Old Abattoir by Guzape Junction, Abuja, through the Team Leader with telephone no 08035179870 in connection with the above investigation.

Recall that the Police invaded the Labour House, ransacked the complex in Abuja and later claimed that its personnel went there in search of a foreigner involved in subversive activities.

Reacting to the letter, Omoyele Sowore, former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), in a post on X, said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led government was fast turning to a fascist regime.

Sowore further called for action against the government saying: “We must all together stop him now. The Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu regime is going completely fascist.”
