Ezenwa disclosed that the title of the post was “Gov Hope Uzodimma in a fresh scandal”, adding that it was centred on the role of the late Ahmed Gulak in the 2018 All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election in Imo State.

He said, “My name is Nze Dr Vitus Ezenwa, the  publisher of Ideato Voice newspapers. I was arrested by the police over the post because I am the administrator of the platform where it was made, Ideato Voice platform. I was detained until the royal father was arrested and currently detained. He is currently at the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, Tiger base. The post was made on March 20. The Police granted me bail after the traditional ruler was arested. I was asked to be reporting at the police everyday till further notice,” Ezenwa stated.

Efforts to get confirmation from the Police Command’s spokesperson, Henry Okoye, proved abortive as he said he was in a meeting as at the time of filing this report.
