In a statement issued Tuesday, police spokesperson ASP Eguavon Omokaro alleged that these men were instrumental in organizing and participating in various protests throughout Abia State. These demonstrations, which authorities claim disrupted public order, were reportedly aimed at advocating for the release of detained leader Nnamdi Kanu and demanding judicial action.

According to police intelligence, these six individuals were identified as the primary coordinators behind these protests, including annual gatherings held on May 30 to commemorate Biafra remembrance and campaign for Kanu’s release.

The command noted that it attempted to bring the suspects in for questioning on three separate occasions—December 18, 2025, February 7, 2026, and March 3, 2026—but received no response. Consequently, the men have been declared wanted. The police are now urging the public to provide any information that could lead to their apprehension, noting that rewards are available for credible tips.

Former presidential contender Pat Utomi has commended Peter Obi for his decision to leave the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and join the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC). Following his departure from the ADC, Peter Obi was formally nominated as the NDC’s presidential candidate. At the party’s recent convention, Obi received the party flag and introduced Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the former Kano State Governor and Kwankwasiyya movement leader, as his running mate for the 2027 election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In an interview with ARISE Television, Utomi explained that remaining in the ADC would have left Obi “trapped,” noting the controversial nature of that party’s presidential primary. Utomi highlighted that other aspirants, including Chibuike Amaechi and Mohammed Hayatu-deen, had rejected the primary results and lodged complaints. Consequently, Utomi described Obi’s exit as a strategic and intelligent decision.

Regarding the broader political landscape, Utomi remarked:

• While polling indicated that Obi would have won within the ADC, the prospect of the party leadership permitting a transparent process was doubtful.

• He argued that the general management of primary processes across the political spectrum renders them a “complete farce”.

• He further criticized these events as “make-believe” democratic processes, where candidates are often imposed upon the party.
