The Command clarifies that he was not abducted as being speculated but rather attested. Okoye said that Nonsonkwa is currently detained at State Headquarters and will be arraigned in court with appropriate charges once a comprehensive investigation is completed. Accotding to him the Command remains committed to upholding the rule of law and maintaining peace and order in the state. Hr emphasized that no individual involved in the tragic attack and burning of the NOUN study center will escape full legal consequences. The arrest of Nonsonkwa is coming few days after he attended the 2024 National SERVICOM week organized by the Imo State Police Command, held at the Officers Mess,Owerri. Nonsonkwa who is the President of NGO 'Protect the Weak International', attended alongside other stakeholders where in he spoke his minds about the ills negative activities of the police especially the Tiger Base. He equally proffered suggestions and solutions which the Police Command ackwnoledged to be acceptable with them with the assurances to correct those wrong bedoings of the police. Meanwhile an activist journalist, Chidiebube Okeoma, has urged the leadership of the police in Imo state to respect the constitutional rights of an ace broadcast journalist and human rights defender, Chinonso Uba, popularly known as NonsoNkwa Okeoma, condemned the way and manner the ace broadcast journalist was arrested, fueling speculation that he was abducted by criminals.

He said" firstly, I condemn the way and manner Chinonso Uba was arrested in Owerri on Sunday. The unprofessional process fuelled speculation that he was kidnapped and people went to town with such misinformation, thereby escalating the security status of the state". He daid as a law abiding institution, the police ought to had extended an invitation to him since the media unit of the command says that an unnamed individual wrote a petition against him. While it is part of the constitutional responsibilities of the police to arrest and investigate issues and people, he called on the police to respect NonsoNkwa's constitutional and civic rights while in their custody. He said: "NonsoNkwa should be given maximum access to his lawyers, family members and his colleagues. He shouldn't also be held longer than necessary before arraigning him. Doing so will be against his rights and privileges as a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria"
