The former senator was arrested by the Inspector General of Police monitoring Unit, although the exact reason for his arrest is still kept by the police.
The Nigeria Police Force has arrested and detained former Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial zone, and the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Anambra State, Senator Andy Uba, in Abuja.
A former senior Special Assistant to former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, Andy Uba, has always been at his best when he courts controversy. He is either enmeshed in a political, business or private controversy. The last controversy the former governorship aspirant of Anambra State was enmeshed in, was over a debt of N50 million he owed renowned businessman, Arthur Eze, prompting the seizure of some of his cars when he refused to pay back.
He had promised to be making a monthly N1 million installment payment, but defaulted on that promise. He, however, denied he got any loan from Eze when the matter came up in court. When SaharaReporters contacted the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, he said, “No report like that before me.”
