According to the letter, the police are investigating a case in which Mr Ajaero was implicated and, as a result, require his presence for an interview.

The letter stated, “This office is investigating a case of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime in which you have been implicated.”
