Be Ready to Arrest All of Us,” National Youth Alliance Tells Imo Govt, Police

By Samaila Emmanuel Bzugu

The National Youth Alliance (NYA) has condemned the alleged gestapo-style abduction of its Imo State Chairman, Mr. Chinonso Uba (Nonsonkwa), on October 20, 2024. NYA President Ambassador Aliyu Bin Abbas stated that the Imo State Government and Police Command should be prepared to arrest all youth if Nonsonkwa is not released unconditionally.

In a statement issued on Monday, October 21, 2024, NYA argued that if Nonsonkwa had committed an offense, there are constitutional ways he could have been invited by the police instead of being abducted by plainclothes operatives.

NYA described the Imo State Police Command’s statement, signed by ASP Okoye Henry, as “watery” and alleged that Nonsonkwa is being persecuted for advocating human rights protection and good governance through his radio program.

The Police Command claimed Nonsonkwa’s arrest was due to allegations of “cyberstalking, character defamation, misinformation, and inciting civil unrest” related to the burning of the National Open University Study Center in Nsu, Ehime Mbano LGA, on September 30, 2024

However, NYA insists that Nonsonkwa should be released unconditionally or charged to a competent court.

The alliance called on the Inspector General of Police to intervene and ensure Nonsonkwa’s release.
