The Imo Police Command has confirmed the arrest of Mr. Uche Nwosu, former candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) at the 2019 governorship election in the state.
In a statement on Sunday, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, CSP Michael Abattam, said Nwosu is a son-in-law to the immediate past Governor of the state and Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District, Rochas Okorocha.
It had earlier been reported on social media that Nwosu was kidnapped at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Umunwoke village, Eziama-Obaire, Nkwerre Local Government Area on Sunday.
“This is to refute the earlier news that has been making the rounds on social media that he was kidnapped by unknown persons/gunmen.”
The police spokesman reiterated the command’s commitment to ensuring safety of lives and property in the state and advised the general public to always shun fake news.
