The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State said on Monday the Action Alliance governorship candidate in the 2019 election in the state, Uche Nwosu, was lawfully arrested by the police.
The APC publicity secretary in the state, Mr. Cajetan Duke, stated this in a statement in Owerri.
Police operatives stormed the Peter’s Anglican Church in Eziama Obieri, Nkwerre local government area of the state in their numbers on Sunday morning and shot sporadically before whisking Nwosu, who is a son-in-law to former governor Rochas Okorocha, to the command headquarters in Owerri.
The development has pitched Okorocha and the Imo State government against each other, with the latter accusing the Imo West Senator of treasury looting.
Duke said the law was not a respecter of any individual, adding that refusal to honour lawful police invitation could warrant forceful arrest to bring an individual to book.
