Police arrests ‘tweet poster’, moved to Abuja for alleging Soludo rigged election in Anambra

A suspect who is identified as Nnamdi Chude has been arrested by the Police in Anambra State on Saturday and was moved to Abuja for tweeting against governor of the State, Prof. Charles Soludo.

The suspect is a fervent supporter of the opposition Labour Party, LP. He tweeted on Saturday alleging that the governing All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA which is Soludo’s party was involved in rigging of the House of Assembly election in Anambra.

Chude in the tweet maintained that Anambra State has been dragged back to the era of Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju at the backdrop of alleged rigging by Prof. Charles Soludo in the State House of Assembly election on Saturday.
The poster was later arrested in Onitsha by police operatives and moved to the state capital, Awka from where he was proceeded to Abuja.

Meanwhile, a message by the Press Secretary to Anambra State governor, Mr Christian Aburime avowed that the suspect has been moved to Abuja on Sunday, and that the governor neither had a hand in his arrest nor aware of his crime.

Aburime said: “The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Police Command has confirmed to the Governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, that one Mr Nnamdi Chude was arrested yesterday (18/03/23) in Anambra by the Cyber Crime Unit of Interpol and taken to Abuja today (19/03/23).

“Anambra State Government has no information about any specific allegations or basis of his arrest.”

From results already declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Governor Soludo’s APGA won a majority of the state assembly seats in the state, followed by the Labour Party.
