 SERAP threatens to sue Tinubu, Uzodimma over attack on Ajaero

“We’re suing the Tinubu administration and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, over the brutal attack on NLC National President, Joe Ajaero, last week in Imo State, and the failure of the authorities to bring suspected perpetrators to justice,” SERAP announced on its X handle on Tuesday.

The Labour Centres also directed aviation workers to ensure that flights into and outside the state are suspended.
