Police officers had arrested Uche Nwosu, son-in-law to Imo West Senator, Rochas Okorocha, during a church service. Nwosu has since been released by the state Police Command, with no reason given for their action.

Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said politicians are
responsible for the atrocities in Imo State.
Kanu said
the recent events in Imo State have vindicated IPOB of being responsible for
insecurity in the state.
Men of the
state police command had arrested the former governorship candidate during a
memorial service for his mother at the St. Peter’s Anglican Church, in
Eziama-Obieri, Nkwerre Local Government Area of the state.
However,
Kanu insisted that the state government was responsible for atrocities in the
state and not IPOB.
This was
disclosed by his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, after their routine meeting at the
Department of State Services, DSS, headquarters in Abuja, on Thursday.
According
to Ejiofor, Kanu also placed a curse on the enemies of IPOB.
IPOB had
severally been linked to the activities of unknown gunmen in Imo State.
But, the
group had denied claims that its members were responsible for the killings and
kidnapping in the state.
However,
Ejiofor quoted Kanu as asking his followers against taking up arms and engaging
in all forms of criminalities.
Ejiofor
said: “The recent stunning revelation in Imo State vindicates Onyendu entirely.
He has long before now made the point that the chilling atrocities perpetrated
in Imo State by agents of darkness are the handiwork of politicians, who are
their mastermind and pay masters.
“He
predicted that many more criminal gangs ravaging our land will sooner than
later gravitate to their deserving and ignoble end.
“When they
actualise their evil plan in any instance, they knowingly instigate a false
propaganda and lay blame for what they have done on the door step of members of
IPOB. Onyendu has today cursed the persons concerned and has declared that
eternal perdition will be their reward.”
