The operatives of the Anambra State Police Command have arrested Jeff Nweke, the Managing Director of Blue Shield Securities, a private security company in Awka, the state capital.
The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye, confirmed Nweke’s arrest in Awka on Monday.
The police had accused Nweke of sponsoring a nude protest in Awka against the police with a view to evading criminal charges against him.
The command also accused him of illegal possession of forearms, land grabbing, shooting of police personnel, and terrorism.

It stated that the matter was charged to three courts but Nweke refused to appear in any.
However, the police commissioner disclosed that the suspect had “been on the run” but was arrested in Abuja last Friday.
Adeoye said: “Yes, Jeff Nweke has been arrested; he was arrested in Abuja last Friday.
“His arrest is with respect to the various charges against him and his arraignment, which he has evaded.”
