Biafra: Why DSS arrested ex-APGA Chairman, Victor Umeh

Victor Umeh, the former Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, was on Thursday, arrested by the Department of State Security.

While it was initially uncertain why the DSS arrested the politician, his media aide, Stan Okeke has now revealed that it has to do with his alleged support of pro-Biafra agitators.

The security agency was reported to have received petitions that Umeh was among those backing the recent wave of Baifra agitations.

Okeke said his principal was arrested in response to the petition by Senator Uche Ekwunife, former Governor Peter Obi and Uzu Awka.

Umeh was picked up in the morning by men of the security service and taken to the DSS headquarters in Enugu at about 11 am, after which he was transferred to Abuja in a pick-up van.

Meanwhile, a source close to Umeh, was quoted by Vanguard, to have said: “It was alleged that there were petitions against him that he supports IPOB. We don’t know who may have sponsored the petitions, but there are accusing fingers on some of his known political opponents. Right now, we cannot reach Umeh on any of his mobile phones.”
