Organised Labour had also given the Federal Government a five-day ultimatum to replace the police commissioner. They also pointed fingers at Governor Hope Uzodimma, who is seeking re-election, for the attack on Ajaero, although the governor has stated that he had no involvement in the incident involving the labour leader.
