Ebubu:
for those blaming Umahi
be aware nigerian police is a federal arm and receives orders only from Abuja.

there is reason why states are clamouring for state police ; because nigerian police don’t receive orders from state governors when problems befall them such as fulani herdsmen invasion


haters of ebonyi leave senator dave umahi alone

We Arrested Ebonyi South Labour Party Senatorial Candidate, Linus Okorie Over "Drug Offence" - Police | #IgbereTV

CZ:5200/EBS/PPRO/VOL. 8/229. DATE: 17/10/2022.

PRESS RELEASE
ARREST OF HON LINUS ABAA OKORIE OVER DRUG-RELATED MATTERS AND SEVERAL OTHER OFFENCES.

Sequel to initial viral rumours renting the air, cum a Press Release accredited to one Dr David Ogbonna of HON LINUS OKORIE CARINGHEART FOUNDATION, purporting that Hon Linus Abaa Okorie, a former member of House of Representatives, was 'abducted/kidnapped' yesterday (16/10/2022), the Ebonyi State Police Command swung into action and later traced the said Honourable Okorie (who had evaded many Police arrests/invitations), to the head office of the Ebubeagu Security Outfit at the Old Government House.

Police detectives were briefed on why he was arrested which includes; his activities and utterances that incited and provoked the violence that engulfed Onicha LGA which led to suspected IPOB/ESN operatives or unknown gunmen to unleash mayhem in the area, leaving seven (7) persons dead at the end of that fracas. Hence, the case has now been taken over by the Police Command for preliminary investigation.

Secondly, Hon Linus Abaa Okorie was severally invited by the Security and Intelligence Bureau of the Command over a petition dated 23/3/2022, authored by The State's Attorney General/Commissioner for Justice, alleging that he was spreading fake news against His Excellency, Engr Dave Umahi accusing the Governor of illegally withdrawing #6.7 billion from State Government's Account to fund the Appeal Court Judgment against his removal from office, etc.

Similar to the above is another series of false allegations against the Government of Ebonyi State and the Police Command in his social media handles.

When invited by the SIB over the false allegations/petition,
Honourable Linus Abaa Okorie in his characteristic pompous manner refused vehemently to report to the SIB for a chat. Rather he chose to file fallacious suits against the Police Command.

It is also pertinent to mention that Honourable Linus Abaa Okorie also have a pending case in which he is implicated in a drug-related offence where the suspects purported to be his agents were arrested for Hard drug sales and use at his City Hub Inn, Mile 50, Abakaliki. Case was later transfered to the NDLEA for further necessary actions.

The Commissioner of Police, Ebonyi State Command, CP Aliyu Garba psc(+), therefore makes it categorically clear that Honourable Linus Abaa Okorie was neither abducted nor kidnapped and warns that people should desist from painting pictures of insecurity in the State by propagating unfounded rumours. Ebubeagu is a lawfully established local security outfit by the House of Assembly and Government of Ebonyi State. If the outfit as empowered by the State Law, arrests anybody, it shouldn't be interpreted as abduction or kidnapping because those terms mean different things. However, it is expected that the outfit after effecting such arrest, should hand over the matter to the Police for further investigation and other necessary actions which has played out in this instance.

In view of the above, Dr David Ogbonna of Hon Linus Okorie CaringHeart Foundation is warned to henceforth know the implication of wrong choice of words when next dishing out information for public consumption otherwise he will face the dire consequences as enshrined in the laws of the land.

The CP further reassures the good people of Ebonyi State that there is no cause for alarm and advises that everyone should go about their lawful businesses without any fear of molestation, please.

I am amazed at what lengths these corrupt and evil politicians would go to silence anyone who criticizes them for corruption. The devil himself, Devil Umahi, had to use the levers of power to silence and destroy any opposition. My question is why all this pretextual charade? Why not admit that the real reason Mr. Linus Okorie was arrested was for his allegation that Devil Umahi illegally withdrew #6.7 billion from State Government's Account to fund the Appeal Court Judgment against his removal from office? No, he had to concoct stories and go around about ways to exact revenge and thus silence his critics. What a shame and a disgrace!

These developers and drugs
Una nor dey tire

I like how funny this story is. The regional security outfit controlled by the state government arrested him, hten the police was looking for him and found him at the office of the regional security outfit. Next they want to link him to drugs. This looks very much like an APC script. Inasmuch as he is a politician and I do not trust any politician, this is an interesting APC script. He is apparantly running for the same senate seat as the state governor.

The money they want to use to sponsor Peter Obi election. Handover conutry to the hand of this people at your own risk

Ngwamankillyou:
Yeye APC. From social media to Twitter,now they've seen the structure they started arresting...they will get tired Soon when the sound of invisibility sweeps them.

So, a criminal should not be arrested because he is part of Obi structure. Wait until he mentions Obi's name, it black marial that will used to arrest the grand liar, IPOB patron you called presidential candidate

haters of ebonyi leave senator dave umahi alone

So you want to tell me that police arrested him for drugs related offences because police has immediately transformed to NDLEA, ok let's wait for them to charge him to court.

He is afraid of his shadows. does not want anybody to compete the senatorial seat with him. remember how she arm twisted Ann Agom-Eze who would have replace his brother when he steeped down for him.
