Uzodinma Backtracks, Fails To Name Sponsors Of Imo Insecurity
- According to Uzodinma, many of the persons carrying out attacks in the state have been arrested
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma has made a U-turn and failed to name the sponsors of attacks in the state contrary to a pledge he made.
Speaking during the Imo stakeholders meeting at the Government House in Owerri on Tuesday, Uzodinma acknowledged that he promised a fortnight ago to name the sponsors of attacks in Imo.
But the governor craved the indulgence of the people that he would no longer name names but would leave security agencies ‘to do their work’ and prosecute those found culpable.

According to Uzodinma, many of the persons carrying out attacks in the state have been arrested.
“You will recall that few weeks ago, I assured you that my administration will name those behind the insecurity in the state during this stakeholders meeting,” the governor said.
“I want to tell you that after that statement, the whole issue has been politicised, social media took over the space, conventional media did not help matters and I don’t want to spoil the good works that security agencies are doing already.
“I want to crave your indulgence to let us allow the security agencies to finish their investigation, arrest those that are responsible and charge them to court.”
