A former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has also expressed disappointment over Nwoba’s detention, who was arrested on a “flimsy excuse of circulating false information” and thereafter detained for more than a month without fair hearing.
The state Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chika Nwoba, who was arrested by the police in January 2022 has now spent one month in detention.
A former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has also expressed disappointment over Nwoba’s detention, who was arrested on a “flimsy excuse of circulating false information” and thereafter detained for more than a month without fair hearing.
This was made known in a statement released by Saraki’s media office, describing the arrest carried out by the state security group called Ebubeagu before the intervention of the police as an assault on the country’s democracy.
The former Senate President stated that a situation where a citizen was suddenly seized and beaten to a stupor before being detained in the police station for several weeks did not speak well for the nation’s democracy.
“The remand in police cell of Mr Nwoba, the PDP Publicity Secretary in Ebonyi State, is of great concern. It is really disappointing that injustice has transcended every facet of our country.
