An Abia State based journalist, Mr. Kingsley Alozie is reportedly being detained at the Umuahia Central Police Station (CPS) located along the busy Bende road in Umuahia North local government area of the state.
Alozie was reportedly arrested on Wednesday in Umuahia, the state capital by a team of police officers from the CPS who stormed a popular hotel located off the popular Aba road by Uchenna bus stop.
At the time of filing the report, Mr. Alozie who said that he had already written and submitted his statement to the police officers was still in the custody of the police team.
Speaking on his arrest by the police team, Kingsley said “I was in the middle of a meeting this afternoon with a client that called me to cover an event for them when the police team came and ordered everyone including him to move into their vehicle.
“When we got to the Central Police Station at Bende road, they asked me to write statement. I asked them why I should write a statement over what I don’t know about.
“I asked them what was the crime at least to know what to write in the statement.
“It was at the police station that I learnt that the prospective client has a petition of forgery written against him and his team by some people said to be in-charge of the Enyimba Economic City.
“They said that the people who want to invest in the state copied the design of the Enyimba Economic City which they want to replicate in a part of the state.
“I don’t know anything about the design. I am not part of the team, I only went there to see the people at least to know them and hear from them what they want me to do for them. I don’t know any other thing about the said forgery allegation.”
