Azodo, has been arrested by the
police in Onitsha for alleged
robbery. The Area Commander of
Onitsha Police Area Command,
Abubarkar Yahaya, confirmed
Azodo’s arrest to journalists in his
office.
He said: “There was a case against him and
we just invited him to make
statement and we released him on
bail because it is a ‘bailable’
offence. “If you want details of the
matter, then go to the state Police
Public Relations Officer (PPRO).
Don’t quote me wrong, I said we
had a case reported against him and
we invited him for questioning and
along the line we found out that he
took laws into his hands and in the
course of our investigation we
found him wanting.“However, we
have recovered about 80 per cent of
the missing items in relation with
the matter and investigation is still
ongoing.”
Asked when police would arraign
Azodo, the area commander said
that would depend on the outcome
of investigation. A top police officer
told New Telegraph that the owner
of a hotel in Ontsha reported the
case of robbery against Azodo.
According to investigation, Azodo
invited a 30-yearold man into the
hotel. During their discussion, there
arose a misunderstanding between
them which attracted the hotel
management who invited the police.
The man, who gave his name simply
as Stephen, did not speak on the
cause of the argument.
When contacted through a text
message, Azodo replied: “Ya bro got
ur message. Will call u once am
done shooting.”
However, Azodo did not call at
press time. The PPRO, ASP Nkiru
Nwode, confirmed Azodo’s arrest.
Nwode said that it was a case of
robbery and not homosexuality as
being rumoured in some quarters.
