The Nnewi North Local Government Area's Transition Committee Chairman, Mbazulike Iloka, who had previously been suspended by Governor Chukwuma Soludo due to the passing of his wife, Chidiebere Iloka, has been taken into custody.
He was sworn in as the local government area's chairman less than a week before his wife passed away.
The state government removed him from office as a result of allegations of wife abuse that may have contributed to her passing.
However, the tainted chairman has refuted the accusations, claiming that he didn't hit his deceased wife. He claimed that while bringing him lunch, she lost her footing and collapsed, slamming her head against a concrete wall.
