The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Ebonyi State, Prof Benard Odoh, says it is strange and sub judice for the police to declare him wanted ahead of the Saturday’s polls. He contended that the move by the police was an attempt to undermine and scuttle his chances of winning the governorship election. The police in Ebonyi had, on Monday, declared Odoh and nine of his supporters wanted, over allegations bothering on murder. The Ebonyi State Government fingered the APGA gubernatorial candidate in the monarch’s death. He has repeatedly denied the allegation, reiterating that the late traditional ruler was his father and supporter, saying it was ludicrous for anybody to link him to the dastardly incident.
