Imo: Ambrose Nwaogwugwu Alleges Kidnap Attempt, Indicts Uche Nwosu

By Charles Igbo

One of the Social Media hands in the Media Team of Governor Hope Uzodimma, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, has alleged a kidnap attempt on him.

He said the attempt took place on Thursday at the premises of the Imo State University, Owerri. He is pointing accusing fingers at former Governorship aspirant, in 2019, under the Action Alliance, AA, who is also a son-in-law of former Governor Rochas Okorocha, Uche Nwosu.

In a statement on his Facebook page, where he attached pictorial evidence of the alleged incident, Nwaogwugwu said he was followed to the Imo State University where the attempt to kidnap him was made. He  was saved by people standing around who witnessed the kidnap attempt, he said.

A couple of days ago, he disclosed that Nwosu has instituted a case against him for daring to write an article where he asked Nwosu to explain what happened to the bail-out funds given to the State during the administration of Okorocha. Nwosu was the Chairman of the Fund’s disbursement. The Fund was meant to off-set workers salaries and debts owed pensioners. But the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, according to Nwaogwugwu, alleged that Imo’s was diverted.

Nwaogwugwu said Nwosu, allegedly, engineered the kidnap attempt, to intimidate him, and stop him from asking questions.

His post on his Facebook page reads:

“After failing to intimidate and silence me with court suits, Uche Nwosu sent his boys, today, trailing me to the premises of Imo State University, attempted to kidnap me, but thank goodness for patriotic Imolites who came for my rescue.

“They came with a black Toyota camry with no number. The same vehicle Mr. Uche Nwosu gifted one of the abductors few days ago.

“We shall continue to ask the right questions, most especially the questions concerning the alleged disappearance of Imo Bailout funds which was in the custody of Mr. Uche Nwosu who was the disbursement committee Chairman.

“We owe it a duty to those our parents and patriotic Imolites who lost their lives as a result of non payment of their salaries and pensions due to the alleged disappearance of the bailout funds meant to offset their bills.

“No kingdom of darkness can prevail against this patriotic and noble assignment.

“Aluta Continua!”

Nwaogwugwu, a former Head of the Imo PDP New Media Group, suddenly and shockingly defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and pledged loyalty to Governor Hope Uzodimma.

Before then, he had written all kinds of destructive and damaging stories against the Governor, most of them, lies and fabrications.  It got to a head when the Department of State Services, DSS, arrested him, and took him to Court to prove some of his very outlandish allegations against Governor Uzodimma.

The case died a natural death when Nwaogwugwu switched his loyalty from the Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha,  Governor of the State before he was sacked by the Supreme Court in favour of Uzodimma.

These days, his very poisoned missiles are directed at Ihedioha and the Okorocha camp, a camp which he never stopped to hit from when they lost power in the State.
