Ebonyi 2023: Police Arrest 2 APC Aspirants For Allegedly Refusing To Step Down by ijustdey: 7:17pm On May 26, 2022

Ebonyi State Police Command, yesterday arrested two sons of the foremost founding father of Ebonyi state, Late Senator Office Nwali over their alleged refusal to step down for another aspirant in the just concluded APC primaries in the State.

It was gathered that the duo, Barr. Rollins Offia Nwali and his brother Engr Alfred Offia Nwali were arrested on Thursday at Onueke in Ezza South Local Government Area of the State.

Rollins Offia Nwali, is an aspirant in the APC House of Assembly primary election.

He was contesting for Ezza South State Constituency seat before his arrest.

A source alleged that Mr Offia Nwali was arrested for refusing to step down for his opponent in the election.

“He was called severally from Government House to step down but he told them that as the son of one of the founding fathers of the State, the opponent should be the one to step down for him.

“He had received so many threats over the election but he refused to step down preferring to go to the field. They arrested him because they saw that he was going to win as he had a large number following him in the constituency”, the source said

The source further alleged that his supporters, including some of the delegates, were chased out of the election venue.

Elder Brother of the two brothers, Oguzor Offia Nwali confirmed the arrests of the brothers.

He also alleged that the arrest was instigated by the “powers that be” in the state who wanted him out of the way to pave the way for their preferred candidate to win.

“Yes, my two brothers were arrested and we heard they have been taken to the Police Headquarters in Abakaliki”, he said.

The Police spokesperson in the state, Chris Anyanwu could not be reached for comments as his phone lines were switched off at the time of filing this report.

Umahi is a very undemocratic tyrant, when you confront the midget f00l, he'll start playing the 'Other-Igbos-hate-ebonyi' card. What a buffoon he is.

Umahi will not go scot-free. His own treatment will be worse than okoroawusa.
