Despite a video footage showing scene that’s only seen in a war situation, the Police in Imo State has said that former governorship candidate in the state, Uche Nwosu wasn’t kidnapped but arrested by the command.
In a video footage sighted by JOURNALIST101, the suspected security operatives shot sporadically into the air before whisking him away in a very uncivilised manner.
But CSP Michael Abattam, the command’s Public Relations Officer of the command said Nwosu is with them as he was arrested and not kidnapped.
“This is to inform the general public that chief Uche Nwosu was not kidnapped but was arrested by the police and Imo state police command is aware of the arrest and presently he is in police custody.
“This is to refute the earlier news that has being making rounds on social media that he was kidnapped by unknown persons / gunmen.
“The Commissioner of Police while using this medium to assure imolites of the command’s commitment in ensuring the safety of Life and prosperity this yuletide seasons , adviced the general public to always shun fake news .”
