It was gathered that the said armed squad stormed the residence of Tony Nwizi, who is the state chairman of NUJ at the early hours of Saturday.
The statement reads: “We received a distress call from the wife of chairman of the council, Mrs. Joy Tony Nwizi, that armed squad stormed their residence in Abakaliki at about 6:30am on Saturday and whisked her husband, Comrade Tony Nwizi away.“According to sketchy information given by the squad, the arrest was said to be a directive from the Inspector General of Police over an undisclosed petition against the Ebonyi NUJ chairman.
“It’s more worrisome and embarrassing as the sting operation was sketchy to the Ebonyi State Police Command, whose disposition to the incident when some members of the Union visited the command gave no hope on the true identity and purpose of the arrest.
