Yet-to-be identified individuals suspected to be hoodlums have reportedly botched a planned protest by anti-coalition groups in Abia State.
Ogbonna said that the reason behind the protest in Abuja and Abia was to ask the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate the fraud allegation against Abia ex-Governor Theodore Orji and his son who is currently the Speaker of Abia State of Assembly. “So, in this coalition for good governance and against corruption, we decided that we are going to do a peaceful protest. The reason behind the protest was to send a message that Abians want EFCC to investigate this matter very well.
“Two policemen were there with a DSS man. Before I could even see properly, they’ve attacked the DSS man and began to inflict him with beating and continue beating me in front of the DSS and police who were also under same attack. “They arrested me and left the boys that attacked me, put me in their car, and took me to the DPO of CPS Umuahia, from there to the Area Commander who later took me to the CP who questioned why I went into protest without permission?
