Nkem Nwosu, a chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress(APC) in Abia state, has asked the
Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu,
to investigate and persecute the immediate past
Governor of the state and the current Senator
representing Abia central in the Senate, Theodore
Orji, for alleged criminal conspiracy and unlawful
assembly.
He said the conducts of the PDP chieftains were
likely to cause the breach of peace contrary to
section 516,70 and 149(d) of the Criminal code
act.
Others mentioned by the APC chieftain to be
persecuted by the police, alongside Senator Orji,
included former National publicity secretary of the
Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Olisa Metuh, Col.
Austin Akobundu(rtd) and Senator Enyinnaya
Abaribe.
This was contained in a petition sent to the
Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu by
Nwosu, and issued to newsmen in Umuahia, the
state capital on Wednesday.
According to Nwosu’s petition, “the said conduct
of the suspects(Orji and co) enabled them to void
the mandate of Abia electorate and to impose as
Governor, a man who is unable to pay salaries
and pensions of Abia public service workforce, let
alone tackle other developmental challenges of
the state.
According to Nwosu’s petition, “the said conduct
of the suspects(Orji and co) enabled them to void
the mandate of Abia electorate and to impose as
Governor, a man who is unable to pay salaries
and pensions of Abia public service workforce, let
alone tackle order developmental challenges of
the state.
†The criminal offences committed on 12th April,
2015, has occasioned misery and death of so
many Abia people. Almost four years after the
said criminal offences, the suspects are walking
the length and breadth of Abia state, and indeed
Nigeria.
“As a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I
have the civic duty and obligation to bring the
said offences to the notice of the IGP of Police.
As you can see, this is not an election petition.
The INEC has done what its knows best with the
election petitionsâ€.
He, therefore, called on the Inspector General of
Police to set the criminal law in motion against
the said PDP chieftains(suspects) without delay.
Meanwhile, the former Abia Governor, Senator
Theodore Orji, has denied that he invaded the
collation centre during the 2015 general elections.
He, however, urged the oppositions to engage in
an issued-based campaign, rather than trumping
up unnecessary lies and propaganda to score
cheap political points.
