The Enugu State Police Command has clarified the arrest of Abuja-based online news publisher, Madu Onuorah, dismissing claims of abduction.
According to DSP Daniel Ndukwe, Public Relations Officer of the Enugu State Command, Onuorah was apprehended in Abuja with the assistance from the Ebonyi State Command after he failed to respond to formal invitations.
The arrest was prompted by a petition to the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, alleging that Onuorah had published defamatory content about a US-based Reverend Sister.
Commissioner of Police Kanayo Uzuegbu ordered a comprehensive and professional investigation to ensure justice was served.
The Enugu State Police Command has called for patience from the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Onuorah’s associates, assuring them that the matter would be handled appropriately.
