Governor Hope Uzodimma
A Rights Activist and member of the Peoples’ Rights Organisation, Comrade Paul Ikechukwu Njoku has called on the Imo state governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma to release Mr Theodore Chinonso Uba( Nonsonkwa).
It would be recalled that the popular broadcast journalist and Rights Activists, Nonsonkwa was abducted in a commando style by operatives of the Nigeria Police on Thursday morning on his way home from OZIZA FM studio, Owerri , the Imo state capital.
According to an eyewitness, he was driving in his Highlander Jeep when he was double-crossed by his abductors who operated in a Hilux vehicle, a Lexus 350 jeep and a ES 330 car in front of Holy Ghost College Secondary School Junction, Owerri.
Comrade Ikechukwu who threatens to call for a mass protest if Nonsonkwa is not released by the state governor, adding that Gestapo style abduction of the Broadcast Journalist is an indication that the current administration abhors opposition, critics and contrary opinions in the state.
“I wonder why the Nigerian security forces do not know that African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights in Article 4 guarantees right to life and freedom. The right to life is also provided in section 33 of the 1999 constitution.
“Rules of engagement should be accorded to non-violent and defenceless suspects,” he submitted.(Daily Sun)
