Police yet to arrest Prince Onuh, Frank, others, weeks after alleged assassination attempt on DAILY POST staff
Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State, Samuel Odoh Onuh , and his cohorts are yet to be arrested by the police. This is even as different petitions have been submitted to the police over the matter.and mercilessly assaulted by Onuh, who is the chairmanship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the forthcoming Local Government election in the State, his brother, Frank and some hoodlums in Area 8, Abuja.
Ameh had earlier reported the matter to the police and there was an attempt by the police to arrest Onuh the night of the attack in Abuja. When some police officers were mobilized to track Prince Onuh in Abuja, he escaped to Makurdi. This consequently led to a petition submitted by Ameh at the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department , a copy, which was sent to the Inspector General of Police by his lawyer, Barr. Abbas Ochogwu.
The Managing Editor, Adoyi Abah Ali, also concerned about the safety of Comrade Ameh and other staff had equally submitted a petition at the Bwari Police Division over the attack on his colleague and alleged planned attack on other staff of the organization, including himself. “That is sad. Since he’s said to be in Benue State, make an arrangement with IPO in Abuja so he could be arrested since it didn’t happen within our jurisdiction,” she said.
“This is a serious case that should not be swept under the carpet. We have received the petition and my boss is really bitter over the development. How can you assault someone and still label him a thief so he could be lynched by mob? That is wicked and callous. He also threatened to do the same to his colleagues. Is this what politics has turned to? He has been given the grace to honour the invitation or be declared wanted by the police,” the source said.
Some members of an Advocacy group have raised the alarm over threats to their lives by the same ex-council chairman, and have written to the police to ensure justice is served in the matter.
