The operation to apprehend Eze was executed by a combined team of security outfits, including the Department of Security Services (DSS), the police, and the military.
Disturbingly, Eze’s current whereabouts remain unknown, and he is reportedly being held incommunicado in the custody of the security agencies.
The circumstances surrounding the alleged arrest are shrouded in mystery, with no official disclosure of the reasons behind the detention. Concerns have been raised about the lack of transparency in this case, as family members and associates of the blogger are left grappling with uncertainty and seeking answers.
According to a close source, Eze’s cousin, who witnessed the arrest, has been tirelessly attempting to trace his whereabouts without success.
Frustrated by the lack of information, the cousin has now engaged legal assistance, with a lawyer initiating contact with all relevant security agencies to request more details regarding Eze’s situation.
“I’ve been making efforts to trace where he could be to no avail. So I have now involved my lawyer to write to all the security agencies asking for more information,” the cousin stated.
The news of Eze’s disappearance has sparked concern among the SDNON members and the broader public, raising questions about the circumstances leading to his arrest and the nature of the charges, if any, against him.
