Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has stated that the Anambra State government did not have any involvement in the arrest of Nnamdi Chude, a Twitter user. The statement was made following reports on Saturday, that Chude had been arrested by police in Anambra State and allegedly taken to Abuja.
The arrest of the Twitter user sparked some online users to claim that it was connected to a tweet he posted on electoral violence during the house of assembly elections in the state on Saturday. Chude had alleged that thugs purportedly loyal to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) were disrupting the voting process in Awada, Anambra State, in order to prevent the Labour Party (LP) from having an edge in the election.
In a tweet, Chude had written, “APGA thugs are on rampage in Trans-Nkisi, 3’3 & Awada snatching ballot box. LP is winning comfortably across Anambra. I can’t remember the last time I heard of ballot box snatching in Anambra. This is the height of it. @CCSoludo has taken us back to Mbadinuju’s era.”
Reacting to the incident on Sunday, Soludo stated through his chief press secretary, Christian Aburime, that the state government had no information about any specific allegations or basis of the arrest of Chude. Aburime said, “The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Police Command has confirmed to the Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, that one 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.”
