The National Vice President, South East zone, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Chris Isiguzo yesterday joined other Igbo leaders calling for the unconditional release from detention of Dr. Ifeanyi Uhah, the Chairman, Capital Oil from detention.

He explained that his continued detention by the Directorate of State Security Services (DSSS) on the claim that they were still investigating him smacks suspicion of foul play.

The NUJ boss in a news briefing in Abakaliki condemned the process of his arrest and detention adding that the arrest and detention was flawed. “We have continued to questioned why the business mogul should be treated like a common criminal over legitimate business transaction”.

He called on the federal authorities to releases of Ubah, pointing out that even as nobody should be treated as above the laws, such drivers of the nation’s economy should not be unduly maltreated.

Similarly, the former Ebonyi State secretary, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Lawrence Egede said ways the matter between the NNPC and the Capital Oil was being handled is out of place.

He explained that it does appear that the NNPC is playing with the truth. The Ohaneze scribe both parties could settle out of court.
