Police in Imo State have shed light on the fate of a former governorship candidate in the state, Uche Nwosu, who is also an in-law to former Governor Rochas Okorocha.
They said he was not kidnapped by unknown gunmen but was arrested by them.
Imo State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Michael Abattam, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), said Nwosu was in custody.
The PPRO said: “Nwosu was arrested by the police, not kidnapped as insinuated in the social media.”
Abattam said it was in connection with “a case that is under investigation.”
The incident occurred during the Outing Service of the victim’s mother, late Jemamah Nwosu.
The state government and Okorocha have not been in harmony as the government has accused him of corruption, seizing some choice property from him.
He, in turn, accused them of witch-hunt.
