The identity of the man arrested on Friday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja for rantings against the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been unveiled.
The suspect, Mr. Obiajulu Hansel Uja was arrested while voicing out that President-elect, Bola Tinubu must never be sworn-in.
Obiajulu was arrested on board a Lagos bound flight after he had delayed take-off for nearly one hour.
In a trending video, he could be heard shouting, “Obidients you’re here. They are doing this to me. Obidients you’re here, I am naked. Obidients you’re here, I am going naked.”
From Oji-River Local Government Area of Enugu State, he holds two Masters degrees from University of Lagos and Leicester University.
Findings shows that Uja passed his West African School Certificate Examinations (WASCE) in 1990 from College of Immaculate Conception (CIC), Enugu before studying Law at Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu.
Graduating in 1998, he was called to bar after passing out of the Nigerian Law School, Bwari, FCT in 2000.
Uja is also a holder of Master of Laws (LL.M) of University of Lagos (2008) and LL.M EU Corporate Commercial Law from Leicester University of Leicester (2001).
His lawyer, Barrister Ejike Ugwu told DAILY POST on Saturday that Obiajulu is mentally challenged.
Ugwu, who said he was at the Airport Police Division to see the suspect, said the police were yet to provide him (suspect with medical care) despite his bad situation.
“Obiajulu is not in the right state of mind; before he boarded the flight, he was chased away from a hotel in Abuja because of his mental state.
“He even booked three different flights for the Lagos trip. He booked Aero, Dana and Ibom Air. He had the three tickets for the same trip. So, there is no doubt that he is mentally challenged,” Ugwu said.
The lawyer said every effort he made to make the police see reason on why the suspect should be allowed access to medical care had not received attention.
“As I speak to you, both the IPO handling the case and the DPO of the Police Division are nowhere to be found. And the suspect’s legs are all swollen now because of the several beatings he received at the Airport. He is critically sick right now.
“All I am asking for is that he should at least be taken to the police clinic.
“I have also made efforts to reach the Force PRO but he did not take my calls,” he added.
DAILY POST also put calls across to the Force PRO, Olumuyiwa Adejobi but he was yet to respond as of the time of filing this report.
A tweet by 99% OPPRESSED.@PIDOMNIGERIA collaborated the lawyer, saying: “Barrister Obiajulu Hansel Uja, is a mentally unstable man. Whoever that used him for this, took advantage of a man battling mental health challenges. He was sacked by @ZenithBank on the 7th of March 2023, without pay, over his unruly behaviour, & prolonged mental health challenge.”
