He lamented that the secret police is refusing to free him despite filing a suit for his release
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: “This is an appeal to DG SSS (Mr. Adeola Ajayi) to free this young man (CHIDIEBERE LUKE ECHEFU) who has been detained by DSS in Abuja since Nov. 2021 (over 3 years) without charge.

“I filed Suits to free him but DSS is resisting. This man has a wife & 5 children who have suffered.”

Newsmen gathered that Echefu is a native of Umuogbuanu Umucheke Okwe in Onuimo LGA Imo State.

DSS operatives reportedly picked him up from his residence at No. 13 Arch Dcn. Denis Street, opposite Assemblies of God Church Ikenegbu in Owerri, Imo State, on Sunday 7th of November, 2021, at about 3:25 am.
