After his release from Police abduction Wednesday night, Ajaero who looked very weak was wearing a neck collar with weal all over his skin and was “referred to ophthalmic investigation, a head/brain scan, a full body scan, and cervical spine therapy among other investigations.” Obi, who condemned the attack on Ajaerovia his X account , the incident “has come as a rude shock to most Nigerians. It says a lot about the state of affairs in our country today.”

The Union in a statement by its President and General Secretary, John Adaji and Ali Baba, respectively, read in parts : ” We are particularly disturbed that this uncivilised action by the Imo State Governor and the Nigeria Police Force is taking place in a democracy which the organised labour fought for, not military dictatorship.”

NUJ National Secretary, Shu’aibu Leman, in a statement, yesterday, said: “We are appalled at the treatment meted out to the President of the NLC, Joe Ajero by sponsored thugs and the Nigeria Police. “Photographs making the rounds in the social media show that he was manhandled by the agents of the state and from his own account, the severity of the physical assault could have resulted in his death.

“But please, let’s not steer this in the direction of politics, as our views will certainly be divergent. The judiciary does not impose leaders,the people do by their action and inaction.” “The thugs who carried out the hatchet job must be apprehended and made to face the law. Nigerians must be able to walk free in Nigeria and associate freely as stipulated by the constitution. We wait for the right action by the authorities. This cannot be the end.”Meanwhile, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State yesterday accused Ajaero of politicising labour activities in the state.

“I don’t pay federal civil servants, I only pay Imo State civil servants and I challenged any Imo State civil servants to come out and say that between 2020 January 15th till date, that he has not received salary in any of the month.
