No regrets over my detention at DSS, says Imo PDP media aide

- From Collins Osuji, Owerri

NEW Media Director of the Imo State Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP), Ambrose Nwaogwugwu has said he has no regrets over his role that led to his detention at the Directorat­e of State Services ( DSS).

The DSS had detained Nwaogwugwu on May 28 following the state government’s petitions over his alleged involvemen­t in media terrorism, blackmail and libelous online publicatio­ns against Governor Hope Uzodinma.

But on the orders of the Federal High Court, Owerri for N500, 000 bail bond and two sureties, he was however, released on June 22, after 27 days in detention.

In a statement yesterday, Nwaogwugwu accused Uzodinma of using the state security apparatus to intimidate, harass and gag the opposition and dissenting voices against his administra­tion.
