HURIWA Petitions Police Commission Over Invasion Of Church In Imo

It will be recalled that hooded Policemen attached to the Imo State Government House invaded St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Eziama-Obaire Council Area of the State and arrested a former governorship candidate in the state, Uche Nwosu, during the outing service of his late mother, Jamaimah Nwosu.

HURIWA in the petition signed by its national coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, also demanded that the Imo State Commissioner of Police should be invited to clear his name or be dismissed. According to the petition made available to journalists in Abuja, “we are considering other measures but we will first allow the Police Service Commission to exercise her powers to bring the lawless and reckless Police Officers to face the music of their professional misconduct in Imo State and for letting themselves to be used as political cannon folders in the party squabble within the All Progressives Congress in Imo State.

“These set of armed Police Officers who wore no identification tags, uniforms nor can be seen because they were hooded entered the Church and breached the sanctity of the altar of God in their primitive attempt to effect the arrest of Mr.

It continued, “as shown by the video evidence in circulation and much belated official confirmation by the Imo State Police Command, the former Imo State gubernatorial candidate and son-in-law to former Imo Governor, Rochas Okorocha, Uche Nwosu was arrested by the Police right inside the Church after several rounds of live bullets were fired by the invading armed and hooded Police operatives in the midst of innocent worshippers.
