Policemen arrest Former Imo Governors Son-in-law During Church Service On Sunday, December 26, 2021
The Imo state police command has arrested the
son-in-law of the former governorship candidate of Imo state in the previous
election Uche Nwosu. He was arrested
during a church service in St Peters Anglican Church Eziama Obieri
in Nkwerre Local Government Area of Imo state.
Reacting to the arrest, former governor
of Imo state Rochas Okorocha alleged that the men of the Nigerian Police Force
who carried out the arrest pushed down his wife, Nkechi as well as tore the
clothes of his first daughter Uloma.
The Ex-governor of
Imo state and father-in-law to Nwosu alleged that the current governor of Imo
state Hope Uzodinma deceived the inspector general of Police, Usman Baba, into
desecrating the church worship by arresting Nwosu.
Okorocha also alleged that there is no warrant of
arrest or Invitation, Okorocha further revealed that the Imo state commissioner
of Police revealed to him that the IGP approved Nwosu`s arrest.
He stated that
Uzodinma has framed up something against his son-in-law and that and that
President Buhari should be informed about the recent happenings in the state.
Here is what he said –
“Uche Nwosu, my wife and daughter were at the church for an outing
service, when a group of men in police uniform started shooting while the
sermon was ongoing. In the course of their activities, they pushed down my wife
and tore my daughter’s clothes. No warrant of arrest. No invitation. We
suspected kidnapping at first. Many people were injured while running. Uche
Nwosu was dragged into a bus carrying Imo State Government number plate.
“They were identified as policemen
from Imo State Government House by their colleagues attached to Uche for the
burial (of his mother). I got the CP who said that the IGP approved his arrest.
“The shock of such an arrest
without warrant and humiliating members of my family is unfortunate. Most
security operatives in Imo know nothing about the arrest. I don’t know what
they framed up. The IGP could only do this on high-level misinformation from
Hope Uzodinma. Over 100 gunshots to arrest Uche Nwosu. What kind of ruthless
behavior on an innocent citizen of Nigeria?
“Uzodinma
wants to frame me up by all means. Uzodinma has to answer for most of the
activities going on. Uzodinma must mention the names of those who are
responsible for insecurity in Imo State or he should be held responsible for
all the killings in the state. Uzodinma has framed up something against Uche
Nwosu. Buhari should be informed about what is happening in Imo State. Hundreds
of citizens are being killed in this state.”
