Ifeanyi Azodo, Nollywood actor was reported
to have been arrested by the police in Onitsha
for alleged robbery.
The Area Commander of Onitsha Police Area
Command, Abubarkar Yahaya, confirmed
Azodo’s arrest to journalists in his office.
He said:
“There was a case against him and we just
invited him to make statement and we released
him on bail because it is a ‘bailable’ offence. “If
you want details of the matter, then go to the
state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO).
Don’t quote me wrong, I said we had a case
reported against him and we invited him for
questioning and along the line we found out that
he took laws into his hands and in the course of
our investigation we found him
wanting.“However, we have recovered about 80
per cent of the missing items in relation with the
matter and investigation is still ongoing.”
Asked when police would arraign Azodo, the
area commander said that would depend on
the outcome of investigation.
A top police officer told New Telegraph that the
owner of a hotel in Ontsha reported the case of
robbery against Azodo.
According to investigation, Azodo invited a 30-
yearold man into the hotel. During their
discussion, there arose a misunderstanding
between them which attracted the hotel
management who invited the police. The man,
who gave his name simply as Stephen, did not
speak on the cause of the argument.
When contacted through a text message, Azodo
replied: “Ya bro got ur message. Will call u once
am done shooting. ”
However, Azodo did not call at press time. The
PPRO, ASP Nkiru Nwode, confirmed Azodo’s
arrest. Nwode said that it was a case of
robbery and not homosexuality as being
rumoured in some quarters.
