Onuorah
Publisher and Editor-in-chief of Globalupfront online publication, Mr Madu Onuorah who was abducted by men of the Ebonyi State Police Command on Wednesday, returned home today at about 11 am.
The Management of Globalupfront Newspapers on Saturday, said he rejoined his wife and children who were relieved to see him back after the police humiliation and embarrassment of Wednesday.
Mr Onuorah was released late Thursday, night by the Nigeria Police, Enugu State Command, who were the ones that requested the Ebonyi Police to ‘abduct’ him for them.
“He was released on bail by the obstinate and unwilling Enugu State Police Command after an unbearable local and international outcry,” said the management, adding that the Management of Globalupfront Newspapers after briefing from Mr Onuorah and due consultation with our lawyers, will decide the next line of action.
“Meanwhile, Mr Onuorah and the Management of Globalupfront Newspapers deeply appreciate the spontaneous and overwhelming solidarity shown in this condemnable abduction by the Journalism & Media family, friends and well wishers, human rights & civil society groups as well as the international community against the attempt by the Enugu Police Command to usurp the constitutional duty of the law courts by attempting to adjudicate on a case of alleged defamation.”
