AIT senior correspondent, Amaechi Anakwue (pictured above) who was detained yesterday on the orders of AIG Joseph Mbu for referring to him as 'controversial' on a TV programme, has been released on bail. AIT issued a statement on it this morning. Find below...
Detained AIT senior correspondent Amaechi Anakwue has been released on bail by AIG Zone 7, Joseph Mbu.
He was however asked to return to the station on Friday.
It would be recalled that the reporter was arrested by Joseph Mbu yesterday for describing him as 'controversial' on a television programme.
In a swift reaction to his arrest, the management of Daar communication Plc, owners of AIT, had yesterday unequivocally demanded the unconditional and immediate release of its reporter from police custody.

Mbu indeed is a controversial man, he must know Abuja isn't Port Harcourt where he can take the law into his hands.

Pls let welcome MBU to Abuja once more and remind him that dis is not Rivers..if his adrenaline is dis high maybe he should be sent to Maiduguri to bring BOG
Freedom of speech is guaranteed but freedom afta speech is not.....

This very controversial man Mr Mbu is being over intoxicate by power but O ga eme ya voom na anya this time around, we're all watching his steps.
Thank God,political platform on Raypower FM wouldn't have been same without him.
Seems Mbu hates anything Amaechi.

Ok.....good 4 u. Echi iduo onu gi iga.
I hate President Goodluck Jonathan because of this animal called Joseph Mbu..the President is backing him..if not so,why should Mr Mbu be promoted to assistant inspector general of police..compensation things for his evil deeds and works in Rivers State..watch out they still want to use him but they will all meet their water low..
i dont know what is wrong with mbu..i think police IG shoUld send him to Borno,let him go and show that his power there.how can he detain this innocent man for calling him controversial which he is..Mbu always in the news!
Why is Mbu always have head-ache with Amaechis?

THANK GOD. *******QUEENMAYA********
THANK GOD. *******QUEENMAYA********
Hmmm 9Ja itss is well ohhh
The guy is allergic to the name Amaechi
Mbu.....na wa oooo...now you re truly controversial....Deal with it. U fit come arrest me tooo after all the crisis in PH.
i am glad that he has been released on bail for calling Police Officer Mbu controversial Officer, but come to think of it, if Police Officer Mbu were to be President Goodluck, all in opposition calling him incompetence will be languishing in jail, i don't think we need such a man in the Police Force, all the Human right activist should take up this case to bring him under control because he is really out of control
Good for him.
now dog is chopping dog oo.....Mbu arresting AIT reporter?.....not surprised he was released within 24hrs sef....presidency is involved na
Impunity and lawlessness must stop permanently. Joseph Mbu is a tyrant. He doesn't get it that the days of autocratic and dictatorial leadership are numbered. He must be taught a big lesson. Amaechi Anakwue should sue Joseph Mbu and the Nigerian Police for punitive damaged for infringing his rights, for causing pain and suffering and for breaching his human rights. Joseph Mbu is extremely drunk with power. I don't care if his father is President Goodluck Jonathan, but Joseph Mbu must be suspended and sacked. He is a big disgrace to the Nigerian Police service and a disgrace to the nation. He has brought the police into serious disrepute. He acts like a thug, looks like a thug and is more than a thug. There is nothing professional about him. The whole country is fed up with him and his antiquated and barbaric behaviour. We want him immediately removed from office. His gross misconduct and abuse of office has gone on for far too long. Joseph Mbu must be sacked, NOW.

Control it in wat aspect he's a controversial man. Make em waka go
Amaechi really say Mbu na one kain man!
Why is it that GEJ tends to put these controversial beings in places of authority. It's a slap on the faces of Nigerians. And he says we should vote him again because we are fools. But we are not fools, our votes just don't count. Maybe we are......
Nt right at all, what happen to freedom of speech.
