As of the time of this report, it was gathered that efforts were being made by lawyers to bail Kalu as efforts to reach him through several phone calls proved futile.

The Chairman of the State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Mr Victor Udu, condemned Kalu’s arrest.

“I condemn the act totally. The journalist was just doing his job. He did not go there with any weapon.

“He went there with his jotter and pen. We call for his immediate, unconditional release,” Udu said.

When contacted, the Police Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Irene Ugbo, said: “I’m not on the ground. I have been receiving calls that Nicholas was arrested. I’m not around. I will get back to you.”
