We know those behind Imo attacks – Gov Uzodinma

Governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodinma, has claimed that those behind the recent attacks in the state’s correctional facility and police headquarters are outsiders and some aggrieved politicians.

Uzodinman made this claim during an interview on Channels Television. He said the hoodlums were hired from outside Imo State and only disguised to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

“What happened in Imo State last Monday is unbelievable. A group of hoodlums, of course sponsored by some known politicians in Imo State, decided to destroy public infrastructure and government facilities — and attacked a correctional centre facility and also attacked a police state headquarters.

“But what is important to take home is for Nigerians to know of the plot by a group of aggrieved politicians to destabilize the government of APC.

“I have done some thorough investigation and I have a credible lead as to those who are sponsoring these activities of these hoodlums. We are working hard to ensure that the sponsors of these dastardly acts are brought to book,” Uzodimma said.

About 46 inmates who escaped from the Imo State Correctional Centre, have voluntarily returned to the facility.
