Ebonyi Journalist, Godfrey Chikwere Regains Freedom After Spending Days In Police Custody Over Alleged Hate Speech

A former media aide to Ebonyi State Governor, David Nweze Umahi, Mr Godfery Chikwere who was arrested and detained by the police following a petition by Ebonyi State Commissioner for Information, Barrister Orji Uchenna Orji, has regained freedom.

Mr Chikwere was released on Friday morning following agitations by different groups.

PCB GIST  had earlier reported that Mr Chikwere's ordeal started on Saturday after he was arrested by the police following a petition against him by Barrister Orji for making a publication on his Facebook handle which the government considered as offensive.

He was later rushed to the state’s police headquarters clinic for treatment when he fell ill while on detention but his condition reportedly worsened as the clinic is said to be inadequately equipped to cater to his type of health challenge.
Mr Chikwere was subsequently taken to the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki(AE-FUTHA) for further treatment.

Has has now regained his freedom following protest and agitations by different group in and outside the state.
