Government set to crush criminality in Imo, says Uzodimma

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has declared his administration’s readiness to henceforth crush all forms of criminality in the state.

Uzodimma stated this on his statewide radio broadcast to the people of the state shortly on arrival from an official assignment in Abuja.

Senator Uzodimma who was away when his private residence at Omuma in Oru East LGA was set ablaze, said that full investigation to unmask the sponsors of the security breaches in the state had reached an advanced stage, assuring that soon the long arm of law would expose and prosecute those involved.

“Last Sunday’s attempt to burn down my country home was just their Lilliputian way of sending the message that Imo State is insecure”.

Describing arson as a failed attempt, Governor Uzodimma insisted on government collaboration with all security agencies to protect the lives and property of the residents of the state.

The Governor pointed accusing fingers at those he described as “disgruntled politicians” who, in conniving with militants and other criminal elements to unleash violence in the state to thwart the peace and hospitality of the state.

He said that rather than contained themselves with the developmental strides of his administration in just one year, the enemies of the state had devised devious ways of distracting and striking fear in the citizens.

He said: “some of them have come out to unmask their real intention which is to make the state ungovernable.”

He recalled that at the onset of his administration, the same people had vowed to make the state ungovernable for the government.

While sympathizing with the people of the state over their feeble and futile effort at intimidating them, the governor declared that the state would employ all lawful machinery at its disposal to crust criminality.

He, therefore, warned that the day of criminality in the state was over while assuring never to leave any stone unturned in ensuring the security and safety of all the people in the state.

The Governor assured his administration’s willingness to protect the people in the state including residents, adding that the recent security challenges in the state had been contained while advising all Imo people to go about their lawful business without fear whatever.

Uzodimma used the broadcast to congratulate Imo workers on their worker’s day celebration and thanked them for their noble sacrifice made to ensure a better working condition for all workers.

The Governor acknowledged the fact that some workers paid with their lives just to secure a better tomorrow for the working class.

While saluting workers all over the country, and Imo State in particular for their understanding in the face of the coronavirus which threatens the welfare of workers, the governor thanked them for their patience and cooperation.
