On Wednesday, highly armed cops picked up Ajaero from the NLC State Council Secretariat and drove him to an undisclosed location.
The Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the National Labor Congress (NLC) threatened to call for an emergency nationwide strike in response to the labor leader's detention, but the Imo State Police Command denied making the arrest.
In response to the incident on Thursday, Obi stated that the majority of Nigerians were taken aback by what happened to Comrade Ajaero and that it revealed a lot about the current situation in Nigeria.
On X (previously Twitter), Obi said, "It shows the level of lawlessness, impunity, criminality, and rascality that have engulfed our dear country."
"Any discerning mind should be concerned about things like this because they are contrary to the kind of country that all of us deserve and want."
The former Anambra state governor continued, saying that there would be no room for abuse of authority or careless violations of citizens' rights carried out with impunity in the New Nigeria of our dreams.
Reno Omokri, a former presidential assistant to Goodluck Jonathan, responded to Obi's message directly in the meantime.
"Hello, Peter Obi It's appropriate for you to denounce beatings. Omokri questioned, "But what about the two brothers who were brutally murdered in Onitsha, where you live?
"How can you denounce the events in Sokoto while remaining mute about your own shokoto? This incident preceded the one at Onitsha.
Joe Ajaero, your ally, is still alive, at least. It's the brothers' death. killed by burning with gasoline and tires. Kindly voice your opinions on it, just like you did following Deborah Samuel's death.
