Popular Nollywood actor arrested for robbery

Anambra-born Nollywood star, Ifeanyi Azodo was allegedly arrested in Onitsha for robbery. The hotel manager, where he lodged reported him to the police for theft.

According to investigations, Azodo invited a 30-year old man into the hotel and during their discussion, there arose a misunderstanding between them which attracted the hotel management that the police involved. The man, who gave his name simply as Stephen, did not speak on the cause of the argument.

Based on the area commander’s statement in charge of the case, Abubarkar Yahaya, he said eighty percent of what was stolen by the actor has being retrieved while further investigations is still ongoing.

Releasing an official statement regarding the issue the commander said:

We had a case reported against him and we invited him for questioning and along the line we found out that he took laws into his hands and in the course of our investigation we found him wanting. There was a case against him and we just invited him to make statement and we released him on bail because it is a ‘bailable’ offence. If you want details of the matter, then go to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO).
Don’t quote me wrong, I said we had a case reported against him and we invited him for questioning and along the line we found out that he took laws into his hands and in the course of our investigation we found him wanting. However, we have recovered about 80 per cent of the missing items in relation with the matter and investigation is still ongoing.
I said we are still investigating the matter. It is the conclusion of the investigation that will determine the next line of action.

Details of what transpired will be made public after thorough investigation.
