I was not invited before police abduction – Okorocha’s son-in-law Uche Nwosu

Published




Uche Nwosu, the son-in-law to a former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has been released by the Imo State Police Command.

WuzupNigeria reported that the former governorship candidate in Imo State was reportedly abducted on Sunday until the state police command announced that he was arrested, debunking the abduction rumours.

However, in a statement released on Monday, less than 24 hours after the incident by his media aide, Chikezie Nwadike, Nwosu claimed that masked police operatives ‘abducted’ him during a church service at his hometown, Eziama Obieri in the Nkwerre Local Government Area of the state.

The PUNCH quoted Nwadike as stating that the police never sent an invitation before his abduction.

He further challenged the police or anybody who held the opinion to produce documented proof wherein Nwosu was invited by the police.

The statement reads in part, “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.

“I have spoken with him and he extended his greetings to all of us out there.

The statement further added, “While we await a Police report on the reasons for the abduction and arrest, we call on everyone to remain calm and focused because God is in charge of the whole situation.

“Ugwumba Uche Nwosu is a perfect gentleman who has a great deal of respect for constituted authorities and has never for once caught up in civil disobedience. There was never an invitation and if anyone says otherwise, let the person come forth with evidence.”
