Otti
The Abia State Government says its attention has been drawn to the arrest of a personnel of the Nigerian Army, Staff Sergeant Amoke Simon, who was received and promised medical support by Governor Alex Otti a few days ago.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor (Media and Publicity), Mr Ferdinand Ekeoma, on Wednesday, stated that information from military authorities revealed that Amoke was arrested in connection with an alleged fraud perpetrated some time ago.
He added that the state government has established that the said personnel once served in Abia and that he sustained an injury while serving after leaving the state, for which an NGO brought him to the governor for medical assistance.
Ekeoma also revealed that Otti’s promise of support to the Army personnel was purely on compassionate grounds, in line with the administration’s altruistic disposition, which has seen the government extend similar support to several citizens, including security agents who suffered one misfortune or another while discharging their duties.
