The Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) of the Nigeria Police Force in Area 10, Abuja, has continued to detain Tom Uhia, the publisher of Power Steering Newspaper, (a monthly magazine that covers the power sector), for more than 20 days now over a petition filed against him by the Minister of State for Power, Goddy Jedy-Agba.
Mr Uhia was arrested on October 13, 2020 following a petition dated July 1, 2020 by a lawyer, Obi Nwakor, on behalf of the Minister of State for Power, Goddy Jedy-Agba. The minister is accusing the 73-year-old publisher of defaming his character. The Power Steering Magazine, in its June 2020 edition, alleged that Mr Jedy-Agba may have some knowledge about the Dana plane crash of 2012 while serving as a senior manager with the Nigeria Nigerian Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The Magazine also accused him of wrongdoing during his days at the NNPC and further alleged that Mr Agba paid to be appointed minister by President Muhammadu Buhari.
