SERAP Condemns Reported Rearrest Of Labour Party Supporter, Chude Accused Of Planning To Overthrow Government

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has condemned the reported rearrest of a social media influencer, Mr Nnamdi Chude.

Nnamdi, a supporter of the Labour Party and Peter Obi who was arrested by the police in Anambra State during the March 18, governorship and State Assembly elections, had said he was accused of “calling out” the police and planning to stage a protest to overthrow the government.

SaharaReporters had reported that Nnamdi was arrested over alleged cyberstalking on Saturday, March 18, 2023, by the police in Anambra State. He regained his freedom about five days later.

His arrest elicited criticisms on social media with some Twitter users alleging that he was apprehended over a petition written by Chukwuma Soludo, the Anambra State governor.

He was transferred to Abuja and subsequently detained for days.
