Clement Nnachi, Abakaliki


The Ebonyi State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has demanded the unconditional release of the  arrested Chairman of the Union Comrade Tony Nwizi.
In  a release issued in Abakaliki on Saturday by the Council Vice Chairman Benjamin Nworie, condemned the arrest describing it as a violation of the fundamental Human Rights of the Chairman.

The release noted that confirmed sources revealed that arrest was sequel to the directive of the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu.
According to the relesse, “the gestapo arrest of the Chairman  in such brazen violation of his fundamental human rights is highly condemnnable. It’s more worrisome and embarrassing as the sting operation was sketchy to the Ebonyi State Police Command”
“The unfortunate arrest of Comrade Tony Nwizi is highly condemnnable, worsened by the fact that his arrest was shrouded in uncertainties, officers on duty at the Abakaliki  Area command actually confirmed that the armed squad refused to identify themselves or present warrant of arrest”.

Ebonyi State Council of NUJ condemn the gestapo arrest of our chairman, comrade Tony Nwizi and therefore call for his immediate release.

It would be recalled that Operatives from the Inspector General of Police stormed the residence of  Tony Nwizi at his residence in Abakaliki and whisked him away.
