Uche Nwosu, former chief of staff to former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has accused the Imo State Governor of sanctioning his arrest.
The 2019 governorship candidate of Action Alliance, said he was stripped half-naked, handcuffed on the orders of the state governor.
Nwosu who is also the son-in-law of Okorocha, however, advised Uzodinma to eschew bitterness and concentrate on governance than politics.
Speaking to journalists in Owerri on Tuesday, he denied having hands in the insecurity in the state.
According to him, 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.
Speaking further, he said he was abducted, manhandled before the officers ordered him to lie on the floor in the vehicle and one of them rested one of his legs on my head.
He said: “When they drove off, they started calling 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.”
“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 got 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.”
