The Department of State Services, DSS, has arrested
Sir Victor Umeh.
Daily Post reports that Umeh was picked up at his
Enugu residence Thursday afternoon.
Umeh, a former chairman of APGA is the party’s
candidate for the postponed Anambra Central Senatorial District re-run
election.
His media aide, Mr. Stan Okeke, who confirmed the
arrest to journalists in Enugu said it was sequel to a petition by Senator Uche
Ekwunife, former Governor Peter Obi and Uzu Awka.
According to Okeke, Umeh is being accused of
sponsoring the recent pro-Biafra activities of the Movement for the
Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB and the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB.
He, however, said that contrary to reports that Umeh
was handcuffed and was flown to Abuja, “They travelled by road and as I speak
with you
(8.25PM), they are still on their way to Abuja”.
