The Anambra Police Command has confirmed the arrest of Chief Jeff Nweke, the Managing Director of Blue Shield Securities, a private security company in Awka.
The Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye, confirmed the arrest to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on Monday.
NAN reports that the police had accused Nweke of sponsoring nude protest in Awka against the police with a view to evading criminal charges against him.

It claimed that the matter was charged to three courts but that the suspect refused to appear in any.
The police boss said that the suspect had “been on the run” but was arrested in Abuja on Friday.
“Yes, Jeff Nweke has been arrested, he was arrested in Abuja last Friday.
“His arrest is with respect to the various charges against him and his arraignment, which he has evaded,” he said. (NAN)
