Cross River’s Attorney General distances self from alleged arrest of traditional ruler
The Attorney General of Cross River State and Commissioner for Justice, Ededem Ani Esq has denied reports purporting his involvement in the alleged arrest and detention of a traditional ruler in Calabar Municipality, Chief Maurice Omin Iso.
An report had linked the Attorney General to the arrest and detention of the chief.
Reacting, Ani, in a statement on Thursday, described the report as malicious, stating that the purveyor of the report only intended to denigrate his reputation.
The Commissioner urged members of the public not to pay heed to the report, stressing that contrary to what was reported, the said Chief was not arrested on his directive.
He, however, explained that Chief Maurice Omin Iso, Ntufam Donatus Etim and others, visited the Zone 6 Police Headquarters in Calabar on 23 December, 2024, for an interview with regard to a petition bordering on attempted murder and Kidnapping.
“One is then left to wonder how someone who was said to have been arrested two days earlier, would accept an invitation from the Police and physically attend the same two days later.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Chief Omin Iso left the Zone 6 Command after the said interview, of his own free will,” he stated
He also dismissed as fabrication, claims that Chief Iso was arrested because he got judgments against the state.
