They will brief me. They are still interviewing them, and I dont have much information on the case yet.I think the PPRO will be in a better position to speak once we have concluded the initial investigation.When asked about the reason for the clerics arrest, the CP insisted that he needed to be fully informed of the facts first.The PRO will be able to provide details after the preliminary investigation. I wouldnt say whether he was arrested or invited because the case involves his wife. I dont yet know the extent of the complaint, but we will update you once the investigation progresses, he said.Im not aware of that.His wife reached out, claiming he had locked her up for weeks, and she was just rescued by the Rivers State Police Command. Initially, they let him go, but we insisted, and they had to bring him back to the State CID.
