Okorocha and Uche Nwosu
Action Alliance (AA) candidate during the Imo State 2019 governorship election, Chief Uche Nwosu, was not kidnapped but arrested by the police and currently in detention.
“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,” Public Relations Officerof the Imo State Police Command, CSP Michael Abattam, said in a statement issued on Sunday afternoon.
Nwosu, son in-law of former Governor Rochas Okorocha, was seen in a video forcibly taken away from a church service by men in uniform and reportedly driven away in a car booth, making observers to conclude that it was a case of abduction.
“The Commissioner of Police while using this medium to assure Imolites of the command’s commitment in ensuring the safety of life and prosperity thisYuletide season, advised the general public to always shun fake news,” Abattam said.
