The police have withdrawn the charge of defamation of character filed
against a journalist with the African Independent Television (AIT), Mr
Amaechi Anakwe.
The First Information Report which
contained the charge was withdrawn by the police following which an
Abuja Chief Magistrate Court struck it out.
Anakwe was consequently discharged and has since walked out of the court premises a free man.
Mr Joseph Mbu, an Assistant Inspector General of Police, whose tenure
as Rivers State Commissioner of Police was characterized by
controversies, allegedly ordered the arrest and detention of Anakwe for
describing him as “controversial” on a TV programme.
The
journalist, Amaechi Anakwe, a reporter cum presenter for the African
Independent Television, AIT, was detained Thursday morning after he
reported at the Zone 7 police headquarters in Abuja, on the invitation
of Mr. Mbu.
