According to Naija News, Ajaka was assaulted by suspected hoodlums shortly after the court confirmed Usman Ododo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the legitimate Governor of the state.

Ajaka and his team faced a violent confrontation as the SDP candidate was beaten and doused with water while attempting to leave the premises.

Earlier reports indicated that the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Ajaka and his party, citing a lack of merit and substance in the case. Justice Sadiq Umar, who delivered the lead judgment, noted that many of the claims were pre-election issues that should have been addressed in the federal high court before the election.

Meanwhile, on the same day, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the validly elected Governor of Imo State. The apex court, in a decision by a five-member panel, dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Samuel Anyanwu. Justice Mohammed Baba Idris, in the lead judgment, rejected all the issues raised by the appellants, and the appeal by the Labour Party (LP) and its candidate, Athan Achonu, was also dismissed for lack of merit.
