MAN WHO WENT TO BUY FOOD FOR HIS SICK MOTHER AND WAS TAGGED ESN,RELEASED AFTER 29-DAYS.[PHOTO]

The Imo State Police Command has released Elvis Okafor, the 23-year-old boy arrested in the Orlu Local Government of the state and labelled an operative of the Eastern Security Network.


His relative, Gideon Dominics, raised the alarm after seeing his photograph on Facebook while being paraded by the police.


Dominics, in a post on Facebook, wrote, ā€œThis is my little cousin, Elvis Okafor; have you seen how dramatic Nigeria is? A little boy that went to buy foodstuffs for his sick mum is now a member of IPOB?


ā€œA boy that came back from church and hasn’t eaten anything is now brandishing a gun as an ESN member? You see the Nigerian magic? Is this how innocent people are being framed daily?


While speaking with our correspondent on Monday, Dominic stated that his cousin had been released on bail.


ā€œIf you see my cousin, you will not believe he is the person. After spending 29 days in a police cell, he was looking sick and in need of medical attention,ā€ he added.
