Imo Ex-Governor Okorocha Narrates Attack On Convoy By Gunmen, Killing Of Policeman

A police officer was killed on Friday following an attack by gunmen on the convoy of former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha.

The convoy of the former governor was attacked at the Ihube community on the Okigwe- Enugu expressway, according to The PUNCH.

The Ihube axis of the expressway had been a major point of attacks by gunmen and kidnappers.

The former governor confirmed the killing of the police officer and the assassination attempt on him.

Okorocha who was Imo governor for eight years said that the slain police officer was deployed by the state Government House to take him to the burial ceremony of the mother of the immediate past governor of state, Emeka Ihedioha.

Okorocha who spoke on Sunday at Amaimo in the Ikeduru Local Government Area of the state, at the birthday anniversary celebration of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the November 11 governorship election in Imo state, Samuel Anyanwu, described the killing of the police officer as “unfortunate.”

The former governor said he was returning from Enugu after attending the burial of the wife of a former senate president, Ken Nnamani when his convoy was attacked.

Okorocha said that the governor of Enugu state, Peter Mbah had released vehicles and security men to take him and his team to Imo state for the burial ceremony of Ihedioha’s mother.

He disclosed that the incident occurred after he had been dropped at his Spilbat mansion in Owerri and was heading back to Enugu when they were attacked.

Okorocha lamented that he was safe while in Enugu but was attacked in his own state.

He said, “I am angry. I am very angry. I am angry because I spent two days in Enugu and nothing happened to me but it is in my own state that the convoy released to me by the governor of Enugu state (a very good man) to attend the burial ceremony of Ihedioha’s mother at Mbaise that was attacked and one policeman killed.

“What is happening in Imo state makes me angry. Many people who are running to govern Imo state are not capable but I have seen one man whom the cap fits. When it is time, I will speak.”

One of the aides of the former governor who spoke to The PUNCH said the vehicles in the convoy, which comprised a Sports Utility Vehicle, a bus, and Hilux were riddled with bullets.

He said two other security agents we kidnapped by the attackers and were released on the same day

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
