There are fears that the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Eugene Odo may soon be detained by the Police in the State.
This is also as Odo raised the alarm of an alleged grand conspiracy by the police and the State Governor to poison him in the police cell as soon as his arrest was perfected.
DAILY POST gathered that the Enugu State Commissioner of Police, Adamu Mohammed, has invited the Speaker for questioning on matters relating to impeachment charges preferred against the state Governor, Sullivan Chime.
Odo told journalists on Thursday that the Assistant Commissioner of Police, who invited him via telephone call told him that he was invited to explain one of the allegations in the impeachment notice accusing Governor Chime of forging the 2012 supplementary budget.
Odo wondered why the police is interfering in the house legislative mandate even when the house has obtained a court injunction against police obstruction of the proceedings of the house.
The speaker while addressing newsmen said he does not intend to honour the police invitation, alleging that both the police and Governor Chime have connived to “detain and poison him” in police cell.
He urged the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, to intervene in the state crisis and call CP Adamu Mohammed to order.
