Mr. Emmanuel Ezeanochie, the state chairman of the Imo State Amalgamated Traders Association (ISAMATA), has been arrested and detained by His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodimma, the governor of Imo State, in accordance with his resolve to rid the state of corruption in all sectors, according to a special announcement made by the state government on Monday night.
Allegations that Mr. Ezeanochie deceitfully appropriated property and market stalls for his own use while posing as a government official led to the decision.
