The Police has reacted to the alleged kidnap of the Uche Nwosu, the son-in-law of former Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha.
Some armed men had stormed St Peter’s Anglican church at Eziama Obieri in the Nkwerre Local Government Area of the state on Sunday and whisked Mr Nwosu away while he and his family members were on an outing service after the burial of their mother, Jemimah Nwosu.
It was first reported that he was kidnapped. READ MORE HERE.
However, the Imo state police command has come out to say that he wasn’t kidnapped, but was arrested.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Michael Abattam, confirmed that Nwosu was in custody in a press statement titled, “Arrest of Chief Uche Nwosu’.
The statement read, “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 been 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 lives and prosperity this Yuletide season, advised the general public to always shun fake news.”
