Peter Obi’s supporter, Chude, says Police arrest him for trying to overthrow govt

Chude Nnamdi, a supporter of the Labour Party and Peter Obi, said he was arrested and detained for five days by the Nigeria police for allegedly trying to overthrow the government.

Iwitnesslive had reported that Nnamdi was arrested by the Interpol in Anambra State during the March 18, gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections, over alleged cyberstalking and the social media influencer spent at least five days in police detention.

He was transferred to Abuja and subsequently detained for days by the police based on a cybercrime petition filed against him.

However, Nnamdi who regained his freedom on Friday took to Twitter to share his experience, saying “For the records, my experience from arrest to detention was unpalatable, unpleasant and unjust. I was hounded into the boot of waiting car with cuffs. I was accused by the security agents in Anambra of planning to stage a protest and overthrow the government.

“I was accused of calling out the police. Apparently, they didn’t understand that I was just adding my voice like every other young person out there who are desirous of a better society.

“On getting to Awkuzu Sars from my point of arrest, I was manhandled, ruffled and treated like a common criminal. Shout out to the OC Awkuzu Sars who cautioned them to stop the act. He’s a fine officer.”

“The Cybercrime unit of Interpol was just too good. They represent the finest versions of the Nigerian Police. I hope other units of the Nigerian Police can emulate them. They also parade the smartest and most brilliant sets of the Nigerian police.

“Going forward, it is important to state that the Nigerian Police needs to be insulated from political interference. As critical enablers of societal progress and development, the institution is in need of Independence from the machinations of political actors,” he added.
