Former Imo State Governor, Rochas
Okorocha has alleged threat to the lives of his daughter, Uloma Nwosu and other
members of his family, by the Imo State Government.
He claimed that a top government
official in the state allegedly ordered thugs to attack Uloma in Owerri, the
state capital.
Okorocha, who spoke through his
Personal Assistant, Dr. Ebere Nzewuji, said the thugs were clearly seen in a
trending video, holding Mrs. Nwosu hostage while claiming that they were given
special order to seize her vehicle until the arrival of the top Imo government
functionary to the scene.
Addressing journalists in Abuja
over the weekend, Nzewuji stated that the incident threw people of the area
into panic as residents scampered for dear lives.
He said, “You will recollect that
few days ago, members said to be from the Imo State recovery team went to her
shop, looted things and said they were government property.
“And remember, that they went
again to the former first lady’s shop and carted away some containers.
“These were gift items and
souvenirs that the former first lady gives out to first ladies and dignitaries
on her annual August meeting including items that were sold by her in her
furniture shop.
“These things happening in Imo
State is very serious. It will lead to a total breakdown of law and order in
the state if care is not taken.
“We have reported to the police,
even from the last incident and we don’t think any serious action has been
taken so far.
“So, we are calling on the
authorities to do something about it before there is a breakdown of law and
order.”
Okorocha and his successor,
Governor Emeka Ihedioha, have been entangled in a political tussle even before
May 29, 2019 hand over.
EFCC had a few weeks ago sealed
properties owned by the former governor of the state and his family following
their failure to appear for questioning.
