Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, has said aggrieved politicians sponsored Monday attacks in the state.
Uzodinma spoke on Wednesday while featuring on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme monitored by The PUNCH.
The PUNCH had reported that gunmen on Monday attacked the Owerri Correctional Prison and freed over 1800 inmates. The attackers also razed the Imo State Police Command headquarters situated in Owerri and burnt all the vehicles parked at the command headquarters.
The hoodlums further freed the suspects in the cells at the State Criminal Investigation Department of the command and made an attempt to loot the police armoury in the state.
The PUNCH gathered that the gunmen operated from 1am till 3am on Monday and sang solidarity songs at the Government House Roundabout for about 30 minutes before attacking the facilities.
The police have since accused members of the Eastern Security Network, the security arm of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, of been the masterminds of the attacks but the secessionist agitators led by Nnamdi Kanu have since denied the allegation.
But speaking on the television programme, Uzodinma discredited the claim that IPOB members perpetrated the heinous acts.
He said, “Their (attackers’) tactics is that they try to identify grievances of people in a particular area. If it is in Imo State and probably there are some IPOB people who are not happy, they hire hoodlums from outside Imo State, they bring them in pretending to be IPOB and they commit these crimes and they go away.
“So, it is not about IPOB. Yes, we agree, we have aggrieved IPOB members but I can tell you those who are doing this destruction, most of them were brought in from outside Imo State.”
Continuing, the governor said, “What is important for Nigerians to know is the plot by a group of aggrieved politicians to destabilise the government of APC (All Progressives Congress).
“I have done some thorough investigation and I have some credible lead as to those who are sponsoring these activities of these hoodlums.
“I don’t want to pre-empt the investigations of other security agencies but I can tell you we are working hard to ensure the sponsors of this dastardly acts must be brought to book.”

It is important to note that despite 2hrs of shooting, there are no bullet holes. Pls watch the videos of hopeless, osinbanjo and the lg adamu touring the police hq. You will not see a single bullet hole. Also they spared the apc and new police vehicles.

The Igbo will turn NE crew have disappeared. The IPOB will turn Boko Haram advisers have ran to Benin Republic. I pity any Igbo person like adadike aka “ubulu eke” who still listen to these brood of vipers against what Kanu is fighting for.

Who is hopeless uzodinma deceiving. Why did he not call the dss for support, why did he not reach out to the army 10mins away. What of the hundreds of police, dss, army guarding him, what did they do. Two hours of shootout, no single casualty not even injury as in police and the attackers were both waiting for referee to blow whistle b4 they start shooting. One party was gyrating, singing and dancing for 20mins while the other party were clearing the way for smooth operations.It is important to note that despite 2hrs of shooting, there are no bullet holes. Pls watch the videos of hopeless, osinbanjo and the lg adamu touring the police hq. You will not see a single bullet hole. Also they spared the apc and new police vehicles.
this is a script written by British high commissioner,acted by bandit and terrorists called unknown gunmen to destabilize east and blame ESN now their game have fail,and uzodinmma can’t cover for them unless he go suffer the consequences

Watch and see how this fulani regime will be exposed in few days regarding developments in Imo state. We’re privy to their devilish plan to obliterate Indigenous people of Niger-area starting with Igbos in attempt to further their devilish plan – fulanization agenda.
Bloody terrorist regime.

very plausible, mess up the place so a state of emergency will be declared and military sole administrator imposed. Uzodinma really fúcked Rochas up big time. The IPOB lie just refused to stick even with all the propaganda
As an hediotic yoruba mozlem miscreant from the office of the bullion van criminal at bourdillion, I hereby disagree with Hope Uzodinjo on this. They must be ESN. They have been tormenting us in our skull mining ritual killers enclave at ogbomosho. Uzodinjo is an IPOB member.
