Activist claims police officers stormed his house in his absence, tortured his family, and arrested his wife in place of him because he called out Ebonyi govt

A writer has cried out on Facebook, alleging persecution from the police and the state government. Nwoba Chika Nwoba, a writer and an activist, took to Faecbook last night to raise alarm. He wrote: "My youngest sister called me this night around 7:30 and told me that over 15 police officers stormed our apartment in Awka and gained access to them through the ceiling, torturing all of them including my wife and telling them to reveal my location. They beat my wife with butt of gun and kicked her belly. They took her away to an unknown destination up till now. They came by 7 pm today, 30th July, 2026. "A few minutes ago, they used my wife's phone to speak to me, requesting that I must show up before my wife could be released otherwise, they'd kill her. They told my younger ones expressly that Ebonyi Governor wants alive or dead. That's what's happening currently."

This morning, July 31, he said in an updated post: "Up till this moment, they're still holding my wife to hostage. They refused telling me their location. They told me over the phone that if I don't appear, I should forget about her. According to my younger one, 13 of them wore police uniform, while two wore plaincloth. They called one of them CJ. The landlord of our estate sent some police officers to the compound and upon arriving, they met them and they told the landlord's police that they came for an arrest. "My wife didn't do anything to them to deserve the treatment they're giving to her. She cannot be punished on my behalf. No law supports that. They clearly yelled that 'enough of the calling out of the Ebonyi State Government'. "They should release my wife to go look after our baby. This is pettiness. She was cooking food when they struck. She didn't eat before they took her away."
