Anmabra youths demand release of Akwa Okuko
During a recent visit to Oba, the hometown of Nwangu, some youths appealed to the governor to intervene and secure his release.
They described him as a well-known figure in the community.
Soludo stresses court process
In his reply, Governor Soludo warned that the issue was no longer in his hands.
"You are demanding the release of Akwa Okuko, but I have to inform you that there is procedure. There is procedure for me to operate and there is procedure for the court as well. Where we are today is the procedure of the court," he asserted.
He accepted the feelings of the youths but maintained that the arrested native doctors' conduct had adversely affected numerous youths, Vanguard said.
Soludo speaks on possible pardon after conviction
The governor Soludo explained that any intervention could only come after the court had delivered its judgment, Punch reported.
"What we ought to be praying for is a quick trial. If he is found guilty and convicted, then your leaders can sit down with me, and we can talk about the possibility of a pardon. But until the judicial process is complete, my hands are tied," Soludo stated.
