ASSASINATION ATTEMPT: Who is after former Onuimo TC Chairman, Jeff Imo?

It was just yesterday we read a report from Mba Ogbonnaya where he highlighted the murder attempt on Chief Jeff Imo (former Transition Chairman, Onuimo Local government Area). On Sunday, Chief Jeff Imo was traced to his house, then to Concorde Hotel. These were no ordinary citizens, there were men of the Nigerian Police force.

Eye witnesses said that the Policemen approached Chief Jeff Imo’s private security detail and began challenging them. During the altercation that ensued, the private security detail were wounded and dumped at the House of Assembly Police Station, New Owerri.

Following Sunday’s incident, Chief Jeff Imo went to the State Police command to file for police protection. His request was turned down. Can somebody please explain why the Imo State Police Command would turn down such request from a citizen whose life is clearly in danger let alone one who had served the State?

It will be recalled that Governor Okorocha’s elder sister narrowly escaped being killed in Imo a few weeks back. Earlier today, we reported the cold blood murder of Speaker Uwajumogu’s Special Adviser on Administration. There have been numerous reports of assassination attempts in recent weeks. It will be wrong to point fingers carelessly at opposition parties but it is very clear that there is danger.

Indigenes of Onuimo, it was from your own mouths we heard how productive Chief Imo was during his tenure as T.C Chairman. Will you sit and fold hands till your son is killed like okuko?

Imolites, na kwa echeki.

I am a proud indigene of onuimo. Onuimo has no money bags but onuimo has the lowest crime rate of all the local government areas of the state.m the only apping case recorded in onuimo that I am aware of is the kidnapping of the wife of our former Honourable member basil duru. And the kidnappers apparently tailed the innocent mother and wife from owerri to an occasion in front of her country home.

We are peaceful people in onuimo because we let equity and fairness be our guide in every of our conduct.
So if the Honourable ‘s life is under any kind of threat , the threat is not from onuimo. I do not know hon Jeff IMO personally and I have not had the privilege of his presence, but I think that he is relatively a good man. I also hear that he is a permanent guess at concede hotel. If he feels that his life is in danger he should start checking his company at the hotel because the threat cannot be from onuimo.

As a commissioner in the past administration I was the only member of ohakims executive council that did not have police security. I will drive to onuimo with my driver at wee hours of the night. Even during the campaigns I still did not see the need to retain police security. If you are in onuimo you should always feel secure because we do not breed hooligans in that part of the state.

From your story it sounds that you are pointing accusing fingers at the police? Furthermore, do you know the reason or the cause of the reported skirmish between the honourable’s security detail and the police?

Upon reading the story , I made enquiries and was told that Honourable IMO may possibly have the greatest number of security men and the longest convoy amongst the t.c chairmen. So please if you have any further information on this disturbing story , please endeavor to share. But my advise is not to allow anybody to use your medium to sensationalize skirmishes , I ,make this advise bearing in mind of the unfortunate news of the murder of one of the aide to thre speaker
