In a shocking turn of events, former Imo State Commissioner, Ihekweme, has been arrested by the Nigerian Police in Abuja. According to reports, Ihekweme was whisked away to Owerri, the Imo State capital, for criticizing Governor Hope Uzodinma’s administration.
The arrest has sparked widespread outrage, with many condemning the move as a blatant attempt to stifle free speech and silence critics of the government. Ihekweme’s criticism of Governor Uzodinma’s administration is not uncommon, as many have expressed dissatisfaction with the governor’s handling of state affairs.
Governor Uzodinma has faced intense criticism over allegations of corruption, mismanagement of state funds, and poor infrastructure development. Ihekweme’s arrest is seen as a desperate attempt to intimidate and silence critics, rather than addressing the underlying issues plaguing the state.
The Nigerian Police have yet to release an official statement on the arrest, but sources close to the matter confirm that Ihekweme is currently being held in Owerri. As the situation unfolds, many are calling for Ihekweme’s immediate release and an end to the harassment of government critics.
