Former Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha has reacted to the arrest of his son in-law, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu by men of the Nigerian Police Force.

My family were at the outing service of his (Uche Nwosu) late mother who was buried a few days ago, when some policemen with plain clothes walked into the Church while the sermon was going on and started shooting everywhere.

When my wife approached one of them to find out what the reason was, they literally pushed her down, pushed my daughter down and went straight for Uche Nwosu, dragged him out, beating him outside from the Church, and there were gunshots.

Initially, we didn't believe this could be an act of the Police, because to arrest someone in a church while he's mourning his mother, I didn't believe it will come from the Police because of the manner he was arrested, and the gunshots only for us to find out from the Plate numbers of the vehicles that they were from the Government House, Imo State.

So, our suspicion was confirmed that the Imo State Governor has embarked on such an act of hate, misrepresentation and misinformation concerning of my family. Those who attended the burial of Hon. Uche Nwosu's mother, who were honourable of the Imo State Government were also suspended for attending the burial.

The same group of men they use in doing this dirty job are the same people who came for my arrest and arrested me sometime ago, and who threatened at that point to kill me, but shockingly enough though, I had to call the Police Commissioner who has just recently confirmed to me a few hours ago that the order came from Abuja.

So I wonder if this order really came from Abuja, and if it is, the Police must have been misinformed because I am yet to see what kind of offence Uche Nwosu must have committed to warrant the desecration of the Church and sporadic shootings that has left a lot of people injured.

I want to request for the first and last time, that the Security Agencies (and) Presidency must look into what is happening in Imo State vis-a-vis as it relates to the Government of Imo State and of my family. This family has gone through a lot, insults and humiliation, threat to life from this Government of Imo State which must have informed the level of misinformation that must have led the Inspector-General of Police to give such directives.

Because the IG I know cannot direct any Policeman to go to the church, shoot and arrest innocent citizens. I feel that enough of this is enough and Hope Uzodinma has been in the business of trying to get any member of my family or myself involved in this kind of hatred.

Of recent, two of my security men, drivers were arrested and kept by one gentleman in the Imo State Government House, who calls himself SARS one SP somebody, and these two young men had told me horror stories of what they saw within their 60 days of incarceration in the Police SARS where they brought people everyday and shoot them, asking they must say Rochas or any member of my family is involved in the insurgency in Imo State.

I think enough of this is enough, and I have called all the people concerned on this matter, and I hate to make this very public but I am been tempted to say...

Enough of this is enough of this in this Country and if somebody like me at my level, a former Governor, a sitting Senator will go through this humiliation, I wonder what happens to an ordinary citizen of Nigeria.

The Presidency and Security Agencies must look into the activities of SARS in Imo State.

Matters

Is there still SARS, I thought SARS has been disbanded.

No peace for the wicked, That's all...

Hopeless Uzodingba your day is coming too

SARS full ground o.

U were also a problem during ur tenure. Uche Nwosu is my friend but I won't fail to say he has a lot to answer as regards to the bail out funds he squandered.

AfghaEASTern news again?

Next pls.

Rochas for all the evil you did against Ndị Igbo and the raping of the collective patrimony of Imo lites, the destruction of Eke Onunwa Market and the killing of Somto, this is pay back time. As for the Supreme Court Governor, there's life after 2023.

Ugwumba,na the beginning be this! Karma is on you guys. You stole people's land, especially ala Owerri land, you guys grabbed, una go hear am

This man will never make the mistake of ing
Buhari again in his life.
Bubu don show him peper

E don reach him side....he don say the word "reform" dey exist.

Smh

We pray he comes back alive to his family.
We need more information about this.
Anyone and everyone involved in kidnapping of innocent Nigerians or whoever will not see the beginning of next year.

If you kidnappers killing innocent igbos.,
The same faith that befall them will befall y'all.

Hope Uzodinma .... This level u dey create ehn ... I hope say u go get mind finish the level oooo!!!!!

Please NL family ..... I need someone to mentor me on any digital money making skill .... I am broke and I don't want to be broke next year!!!

Ok

Only God knows how many times Nwosu could have been summoned, yet he refused to grant the summon.

He was therefore trailed to a public gathering and given the embarrassment of his life.

With time, the reason for such kidnap-looking arrest will be made known to everyone

If we may ask, why is every Governor after Okorocha always after him? Even Ihedioha that spent less than 150 days in power was after Okorocha

It is turn by turn.
Okoroxha did his own. Now it is his turn.

I want to request for the first and last time, that the Security Agencies (and) Presidency must look into what is happening in Imo State vis-a-vis as it relates to the Government of Imo State and of my family. This family has gone through a lot, insults and humiliation, threat to life from this Government of Imo State which must have informed the level of misinformation that must have led the Inspector-General of Police to give such directives.

Why don't we wait for the the official report on the reason of the arrest. hope uzodinma said the culprits behind the unrest in the east will soon be named. This might be connected.

You will never get peace oga Rochas,the cry of imo lite has reached God. You messed imo people up with your family, stealing from our pus. It is time for you to pay for ur sin.

These people have grounded imo state cos of ego, power and greed.
It's now I know imo state don't have strong men.

How can they allow politicians to experiment with their state to this level?
