Imo Police Arrest OCDA Boss For Alleged Involvement In Criminal Activities by karlmax2: 6:30pm On Nov 07, 2013
The Imo State Police Command has arrested the General Manager of Owerri Capital Development Authority, OCDA, Mr. Iheanyi Abaekwume for his alleged involvement in criminal activities.

In a statement signed by the Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, Joy Elemoko, she said the government official was arrested at his residence in Aladinma area of Owerri in the early hours of Thursday.

She added that during the police search at his residence, some prohibited items were recovered in his house. She also claimed that the police acted on the various petitions that were submitted to the command, demanding that the police investigate the OCDA boss for some crime related activities in the state.

Mrs Joy Elemoko maintained that in the meantime, the OCDA boss is still remanded in police custody until proper investigations are conducted and concluded.

The police command however reiterated its commitment to arrest anybody either highly placed or ordinary person involved in any act of crime in the state.

Reacting to the arrest, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo said the arrest of the OCDA boss is condemnable and unacceptable.

He explained  that the police have the right to arrest somebody when they think he has breached the law but it must be done with civility. He said the OCDA boss is an agent of the State Government and the police was expected to put that into consideration stressing that the Imo State Police Command has been enjoying good relationship with the State Government and it is the wish of the government that such understanding should remain.

Owerri Capital Development Agency, OCDA, is a state agency saddled with the responsibility of redesigning and maintaining the master plan of Owerri, the Imo State capital city.

I keep wondering why the police are more active in opposition states or opposition issues.
From Rivers to Imo to Kano to Edo to State-government lodges in Abuja.

Anyway, if the official is corrupt , then he deserves it!!!!

Please if you have the OC A-division Warri phone number, please tell him armed-robbers robbed till day break in my neighborhood today. Ask him 'KINDLY' if they have now bought fuel for their vans. We are waiting for them to come take our statements. (instead of arresting the robbers)


In other news,
i want to thank all fellow traders of igbudu market warri where i have bee relegated to selling even after graduating with 2.1 in geophysics and serving NIGERIA MY COUNTRY succesfully from june 2012 to april 2013.......

(Modification) In response to a very silly jab at me by 1 'frankyychiji' who doesnt appreciate sarcasm in reference to my post above =, i wish to state that i do not sell in igbudu market and i actually do own an agro-allied farm. Please do a google search of OAU poultry limited.

GOD BLESS SEUN!

if found guilty, lock him up behind bars....which i know would not happen in nigeria. Ogas at the top would settle the matter amicably. Nobody is above the law, but in nigeria, some people are way above the law and we know them grin

I seriously do not know what to comment on as no particular offence was stated. I suspect either illegal extortion or harassment. Maybe he issued fake receipts for some levy or something related to that. However they should let us know what he actually did.

Funny but I just realized its more or less a set up. Petitions and search are two common words we find in set ups. Jealous associates probably wrote that he has a gun and wham! Police men invaded his house for a search and found a gun plus probably weed. End of story.

O boy if truly u have 2.1 on merit in Goephysics, then u need nobody to employ u as u are bright enough to generate ideas for self-employment. And in d case where u have already done that and now u are a trader in igbudu market, u are bright enough to move ur business to d next level. But if u got d 2.1 from d backdoor, then u are were u rightfully belong drinking ur life away wt ur beer parlour friends. Also, it wl be difficult for u to get a job since ur only ambition is to "bleep" d girl dat sells d beer and P/soup in ur joint. However, something gvs me d feeling dat u r not a graduate but a street urchin.
