How Anambra Billionaire was Arrested by Police over Alleged Possession of Unlicensed Firearm
When the news of the arrest of Anambra-born billionaire, philantropist and CEO of Best Aluminum, Chief Pius Nweke, flooded the social media space last week, emotions ran riot.
Both the youth and different groups in Anambra State and beyond embarked on a search by combing all the nooks and crannies. Their fears were further heightened by the fact that few days before he was arrested, the perimeter fence of Best Aluminum belonging to Nweke and his brother, Godwin Nweke, were destroyed by armed hoodlums allegedly hired some people in the neighbouring community, who came with three truck loads of policemen who gave them cover to destroy the properties on the grounds that they were implementing a non-existent court order.
He claimed they searched the car and the occupant and found a Barretta pistol with 10 rounds of ammunition in it and stated that the suspect was taken into custody and later flown to Force headquarters, Abuja. “I am most grateful to my good and steadfast brothers and sisters from Abba community who have been my backbone. My gratitude also goes to present and past governors in Nigeria, senators, members of House of Reps, ministers and top politicians who showed solidarity with me through calls and visitations.
