[9Mx court] " Anekwe was not detained, he was only interrogated for 5hours" - Mbu

Joseph Mbu, the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 7 Police Command, Abuja, has denied
detaining Amaechi Anekwu of the African Independent Television (AIT).

Wait o, Merriam-Webster defines detaining as "to officially prevent (someone) from leaving a place"

 he was right, because ameachi's arrest wasn't officially.  Hehehe

He told journalists on Thursday through CSP Chidi Nzota, the zone’s Police Public Relations Officer, that Anekwu was only invited and interrogated after which he
was allowed to go.

Merriam Webster defines interrogation as "to ask (someone) questions in a thorough and forceful way"

Pheww, ok My dear AIG, what kindda questions could you have possibly ask someone that called you controversial?  Pls continue

 He, however, said that Anekwe was interrogated for about five hours.

What????? Was the interrogation in slow motion? 

Mbu said that the reporter was not detained in a cell or beaten as he alleged.

Take a look at the meaning of thoes word again.

The AIG claimed that at the time Anekwe was with the police for interrogation, there were only three suspects in the cell, including a Police Constable who was detained on disciplinary grounds.

Applaudsss.. so they also get to be detained too? 
Police na our friends and they'd better be treated right.

He urged the media to uphold the tenets of the profession which compelled them to give only factual information to the public.

True word..

It would be recalled that Anekwe had alleged that he was invited on October 2, interrogated and detained by the AIG for allegedly describing him as "controversial’’.

Merriam webster defines controversial as
"Relating to or causing much discussion, disagreement or argument: likely to produce contoversy.

My people pls make una judge this as una see am. 

 Did He detain ameachi or not?
