‘I Thought They Were Going To Kill Me’, Uche Nwosu Speaks On Arrest

Uche Nwosu, son-in-law to former Imo state governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has claimed that his arrest on Sunday by police operatives was politically motivated, revealing he thought he was going to be assassinated in the process.

Nwosu made the statement in a meeting with the press in Owerri on Tuesday, December 28, where he revealed his arrest was sanctioned by Imo state governor, Sen Hope Uzodinma.

Narrating his experience, Nwosu said he was arrested, stripped, and taken to Enugu airport, where a chartered plane was used to whisk him to Abuja on the orders of Governor Uzodinma.

He said that he had no hands in the insecurity in the state, saying that the young man who accused him in a viral video of giving him money to escalate insecurity in the state was asked to implicate him.

He further thanked the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, who ordered his release

“When they drove off, they started making calls in Hausa, and unknown to them I understand Hausa. They were telling one Shaba, who is the Chief Security Officer that they have got me. At Umuaka, they stopped and ordered that I should get down. At that point, I thought they were to assassinate me. They bundled me into another vehicle and they drove off.” Nwosu said.

” When we got to Owerri, three other vehicles drove straight to the government house and the one carrying me drove towards Okigwe Road, and I asked them where they were taking me to but they never responded to me. They drove towards Okigwe and stopped. At this point, I thought they wanted to assassinate me. They asked me to remove my cloth, handcuffed me, snapped me, made a video, and sent it to the governor’s CSO.

“We continued until we go to Enugu airport. We waited for about 90 minutes before a chartered flight arrived. We boarded and we landed in Abuja. We moved to force headquarters and we did interviews. They accused me of sponsoring insecurity in Imo State. I want to thank the IGP who intervened and ordered my release.” he said
