Leader of APGA, Victor Umeh, Arrested by SSS Over Alleged Sponsor of Biafra

Immediate past National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and candidate for Anambra Central senatorial election, Chief Victor Umeh, has allegedly been arrested by men of the Department of State Services, DSS, over support for the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

It was gathered that Umeh was invited to the headquarters of DSS at Amawbia at about 9.00 and after about two hours, was taken out of the office in a pick-up van en-route Abuja.

It was gathered that the security officials were said to have received petitions that Umeh was among those who are secretly supporting the pro-Biafra agitators whose leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, is still being detained by the security operatives. 

A source close to Umeh said: “I am right now at Aguluzigbo, the country home of Chief Victor Umeh. His wife told me that he was arrested in the morning by men of the security service and taken to their state headquarters. 

“But at about 11 am, he was taken from the state headquarters to Abuja in a pick-up van. It was alleged that there were petitions against him that he supports IPOB. We don’t know who may have sponsored the petitions, but there are accusing fingers on some of his known political opponents..."
