On Sunday, Nwosu was apprehended by heavily armed police officers at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Eziama in Obaire, Nkwerre Local Government Area of Imo State.
According to HURIWA, the police acted like terrorists and kidnappers.
The fact that police shot sporadically inside the Church’s vicinity, according to the group, is an unforgivable desecration of the Church’s sanctity.
