On Monday, the Nigerian Police Force summoned Ajaero for investigation over allegations of terrorism financing, cybercrime and others
The police invitation was contained in a letter dated August 19, 2024, and signed by ACP Adamu Muazu on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team.
Ajaero was ordered to present himself for questioning by 10am today.
The police also warned that a warrant of arrest would be issued should Ajaero fail to comply.
