The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to news making the rounds in local Abia blogs claiming that the AGN National President Dr Ejezie Emeka Rollas MON was arrested and detained by the police in Umuahia., Abia State.
“It is a figment of the imagination of the writer calculated to embarrass and disrespect the Nigeria Police Force,
“Ordinarily these blogs do not deserve this refutal but for the benefit of teeming supporters of our National President who has been doing a great job and for the records.
“For those of you who have followed the AGN story in Abia, it would be recalled that since 2024 a set of disgruntled elements led by one David Amalaha hijacked the Abia AGN by conducting an illegal and Kangaroo election without the consent of the National body as enshrined in the AGN constitution. As a result, the Guild in Abia has been led by different Interim governments pending when the matter in court would have been over.
“Recently Mr Emmanuel Ehumadu aka Labista was appointed as the new Interim Chairman of the Abia State Chapter. January 9th 2025 was his first meeting and luckily the National President was around in the State due to the death of his mother-in-law so he attended the meeting to encourage the participation of all members.
“After his speech where he reeled out the National programs for 2025 somebody among the crowd raised up his hands to speak and he was given an audience only for him to begin to rain abuses to the national body, issuing threats.
“At that point, the national president sent a distress call to the AIG zone 9 who intervened and the boys were invited to the police for questioning and the meeting continued. At the end of the meeting, the National President went to zone 9 Umuahia and made an official entry of threat to life.”
