Onah's encounter with Harrison Gwamnishu in cell

Onah, who hails from Benue state, narrated how men from the Edo state police stormed a lodge and unjustly arrested him and some friends, whom they labelled kidnappers.

Onah said the policemen took him and others to the Edo state CID, where he was reportedly kept in a cell for three days with no food or contact with anyone.

He managed to enter the cell close to him to see his brother, and that was where he met Harrison, who claimed he was the cell president during his detention.

Onah, who spoke mostly in Pidgin, said Harrison took care of him and other inmates and consequently got him released after he had spent a week and five days in detention. His statement partly read:

"...I was put in a cell. I was locked in the cell for three days, with no food. Nobody came for me, even the complainant didn't ask of me. Even my IPO, nobody came to see us. So, my brother happened to be in the next cell, so, I managed to gain entry into the cell.

Harrison Gwamnishu gets warm welcome upon release

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Harrison Gwamnishu had received a warm welcome after he regained his freedom from police custody.

Gwamnishu was held after allegations emerged that he removed N5.4 million from N20 million raised by the family of a kidnapped couple in Edo State.

The money was reportedly meant to be paid as ransom to secure the couple’s release, with Gwamnishu acting as a middleman between the family and the abductors.
