Nwosu was taken away by some armed men suspected to be operatives of the Nigerian Police Force, on Sunday.
IPOB said the Imo State government and others would have fingered it and its arm, the Eastern Security Network, had it eluded the public knowledge of those who carried out the operation.
IPOB said this in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful.
It also condemned the arrest of Uche Nwosu in the church and added that the action of those who carried out the operation has vindicated IPOB and Eastern Security Network on the numerous attacks, and kidnappings in Imo State.
The statement however said it would not be surprised if the state government fingers Uche Nwosu and his in-law Rochas Okorocha as the sponsors of IPOB, ESN, unknown gunmen and insecurity in Imo State but clarified that no single individual can sponsor IPOB.
