Former leader of Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO), Beijing chapter, Onyekwulunne Malvinho Chuka, is said to be presently on the run.

He was declared wanted by Department of State Security (DSS) in Anambra State over alleged complicity during #EndSARS protest.

According to a reliable source, Chuka, who hailed from Oraukwu in Idemili-North local government area of Anambra State, was accused of being one of the sponsors of the first wave as well as the second wave of the #EndSARS protest, hence security agencies had been making frantic efforts to arrest him.

A DSS official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Chuka was declared wanted as his name kept coming up during interrogation of some arrested protesters as one of those providing funds, refreshments and other logistics for the protesters through crypto currency.

“We have had this name, Onyekwulunne Malvinho Chuka, on our radar after tracing several inflammatory statements attributed to him against the Buhari administration for some time now.

“So, we took it serious when his name kept popping up as one of the major financial sponsors of the proscribed #ENDSARS protests.

“We also suspect he has been sending these financial aid via crypto currency to cover his tracks. He is on our wanted list now to come and answer to the authorities if, how and why he is sponsoring an activity that has costs the Nigerian people and security a huge loss in lives and properties.”

However, Daily Independent investigations revealed that Chuka used to support President Muhammadu Buhari administration and had been one of the leaders of a Beijing, China-based pro-Buhari movement, Buhari Youth Movement. (Daily Independent)
