Former National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and its candidate in the Anambra Central senatorial election, Chief Victor Umeh, has allegedly been arrested by men of the Department of State Services, DSS, over perceived support for the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
It was gathered that Umeh was invited to the headquarters of DSS at Amawbia at about 9 .00 am and after about two hours, was taken out of the office in a pick-up van en-route Abuja.
It was also gathered that the security officials were said to have received petitions that Umeh was among those supporting the pro-Biafra agitators whose leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, is still being detained by the security operatives.
A source close to Umeh said: “I am right now at Aguluzigbo, the country home of Chief Victor Umeh. His wife told me that he was arrested in the morning by men of the security service and taken to their state headquarters.
“But at about 11 am, he was taken from the state headquarters to Abuja in a pick-up van.
It was alleged that there were petitions against him that he supports IPOB.
We don’t know who may have sponsored the petitions, but there are accusing fingers on some of his known political opponents. Right now, we cannot reach Umeh on any of his mobile phones.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Its only cowards that don't fight his equals that asks for a fight but goes to look for a minor to bully! Finish with you book haram and your pedophile abductors oo! Don't bite more than you can chew, a humble advice!
ReplyDeleteWas it Buhari that petitioned to SSS about Umeh? Read and comment better. Also learn to respect your leaders, the Bible speaks strongly on this for Christians if you are one.
ReplyDeleteNo matter who petitioned who, he has the right for freedom of speech and association. So don't support anybody trampling on another's right.
ReplyDeleteeven when such perceive rights are inimical to the unity of the same country? People in here are sound lawyers and judges... no matter where you come from in this government if you are culpable, you face the law
