IMO STATE POLICE COMMAND, NOT READY TO RELEASE OR CHARGE MR. JUDE EGWUCHUKWU TO COURT - BIM/MASSOB ALLEGES
Monday, June 5, 2023
About 17 days after the arrest and incarceration of Mr. Jude Egwuchukwu by the Orlu police division, Tiger base of the Imo state police command, Owerri, is not ready and willing to arraign him in court to determine if he was guilty or innocent as charged.
A press release issued on Tuesday and signed by Mazi Chris Mocha, Uwazuruike's Directior of Information/ SSA to BIM/MASSOB on media and Publicity, insisted that MASSOB members are innocent and peaceful members of a non-violent organization and they are no threat to Imo state or the Federal government.
He stated that despite establishing the evidence before the investigating police officer (IPO), Asuquo at the Tiger base that the detained Egwuchukwu is a member of BIM/MASSOB, regretted that the command has kept him incommunicado since Saturday, May 20, 2023, without trial.
He stressed the fact that having arrested Mr. Egwuchukwu with some Biafra emblems or stickers, does not in anyway violate any law in the country.
He advised the police in Imo state to release Mr. Egwuchukwu or charge him to court which is the last hope of the common man to determine if he is guilty of plotting to overthrow the president of Nigeria .
