I’m Off Police Hook, Uche Nwosu, Okorocha’s Son-In-Law Speaks

Ola’Kiya, Reporting

Arrested son-in-law to a former governor of Imo State, Uche Nwosu, has been released less than 24 hours after he was whisked away during a church service at his hometown, Eziama Obieri in the Nkwerre Local Government Area of Imo State, by masked police operatives.

In a statement issued on Monday by his media aide, Chikezie Nwadike, and made available to journalists, Nwosu

disclosed that he didn’t spend the night in police custody.

The media aide, however, debunked claims that Nwosu was arrested in a church because he had refused to honour several police invitations extended to him.

He, therefore, challenged the police or anybody privy to such invitation, to produce a documented proof wherein the 2019 governorship candidate was invited by the police.

Nwosu, who thanked Nigerians for standing by him over the uncertainties of his safety, said that he was “fine.”

The state: “This is to inform the general public, friends and well-wishers, supporters and sympathizers that Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, who was abducted by security agencies while observing church service at St Peter’s Anglican Church Umunwokwe Village Eziama-Obaire Nkwerre LGA, has regained his freedom and released unconditionally.

“He never spent a night in their custody as every effort was put in place to get him out.

“Recall the ugly incident that took place yesterday, 26th December 2021, at St Peter’s Anglican Church as security operatives swooped him inside the church during the outing service of his mother’s burial and whisked him away amidst sporadic shootings and harassment of the congregation.”
