The coalition stated that Okigbo has allegedly been engaging some overzealous policemen and judicial officers to detain and extort people and urged the Governor to investigate the allegations and relieve him of his duties and prosecute him,if found culpable.
In a letter addressed to the Governor Otti signed by the Chairman and Secretary,Mr. Johnson Uzor Emeh and Veronica Ijeoma Nwogu, respectively, the coalition said it received a petition from one Mr. Chinonso Nwizu,a staff of Unik D Limited, an Aba based haulage and logistics company, who was arrested and detained for two days and taken to court by the Police without committing any offence.
It stated that there is no way to exonerate the government from the suspected fraud except ordering an unbiased investigation of the Abia IGR team under Okigbo. “The team outing like touts removed the battery from the engine and asked for N250,000 before the battery will be given back and he will be exonerated from the cooked up charges.
