After 66 days in detention, the police, in a statement on Sunday, said she was arrested for alleged membership of IPOB and for working with one Benjamin Uzoma Emojiri to attack officers and stations in Imo.

Her detention had stirred a public outcry as many Nigerians, including civil society organisations, who called for her release.

SaharaReporters gathered that the police arrested Okeke at his house for revealing the whereabouts of the 21-year-old lady.

He was subsequently detained and his motorcycle seized by the officers.

Commenting on the arrest, human rights activist and Amnesty International designated Prisoner of Conscience, Omoyele Sowore wrote, “Izuchukwu Okeke... The fellow who exposed the Nigeria Police Force over the enslavement, abuse and unlawful detention of Glory Okolie has since been detained unlawfully at an unknown location by the Inspector General of Police IRT Rogue Unit. Let’s fight for his release! #RevolutionNow #freegloryokolie # #FreeIzuchukwuOkeke.”
