Okorocha's Son-in-law, Uche Nwosu Regains Freedom

The 2019 governorship candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) in Imo State, Uche Nwosu has regained freedom.

The son-in-law of former governor Rochas Okorocha was arrested in church on Sunday by the police.

Nwosu’s Special Adviser Media, Nwadike Chikezie, said on Monday that he has spoken with his boss who also extends his greetings to those that stood with him.

“I have spoken with him and he extended his greetings to all of us out there."

“While we await police report on why the abduction and arrest, we call on everyone to remain calm and focused because God is in charge of the whole situation."

“The act of desecrating the House of God we all know is a direct affront and challenge to God Almighty."

“We leave God to do his fight because vengeance is of God…”

Senator Okorocha’s media aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, told our correspondent that Nwosu has regained freedom.

“Yes he has been released,” he said.

But the Imo State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Michael Abattam, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), said he did not know whether Nwosu has been released.

“Officially, the Imo State Police Command is not aware of the release of Uche Nwosu,” he told our correspondent.

The PPRO said the command would not hesitate to issue an official statement the moment Nwosu is freed.
