Widow of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu yesterday in Owerri, the Imo State capital expressed shock that a monument being erected by the leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, to immortalise the name of her husband was brought down by unknown persons. Yet-to-be identified persons had last Saturday while the MASSOB leader was away to Oraifite, Anambra State to attend a burial ceremony sneaked into his (Chief Ralph Uwazuruike) street to reduce the Ojukwu memorial library that had reached roofing level to rubble.

Bianca, who came on a visit with Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, former Information minister, Professor Dora Akunyili and Chairman of South-East traditional rulers, Eze Cletus Ilomuanya said it was unfortunate that some people could conspire to destroy what was set to immortalise the name of her husband. She said Ndigbo should see her late husband as a rallying point and so Ndigbo should protect anything kept to retain his name. Bianca advised those who carried out the demolition to desist from the act, saying those who carried out the act were not working for the interest of Ndigbo.

Also, Governor Obi said he was as shocked as Bianca when he heard about the demolition of the memorial library. Obi, who said he did not believe the story said he decided to come to Owerri to see things for himself, saying it was unfortunate that some people destroyed a structure erected to immortalise the name of the late Ikemba. The governor said the late Ojukwu represented the strength and symbol of the Igbo, saying anybody doing anything to immortalise his name should be encouraged. Obi promised that he would support Uwazuruike to ensure that the demolished library is re-built again.

Speaking, the MASSOB leader said the demolition was the handiwork of anti-Igbo elements. When asked if he knew those behind the pulling down of the building, Uwazuruike said he would not like to mention names, but added that the perpetrators know themselves. Uwazuruike promised that the library project billed to be commissioned next month would continue, vowing that nothing would make him not to complete it.

We should not look far for the culprit. The hausa-fulani governor of imo state has rejoined his northern cousins.

The gov is busy running around while his state is being over-run by kidnappers:



The gale of kidnapping erroneously thought to have subsided in Imo State re-echoed Sunday February 24, 2013, when a six-man gang of kidnappers invaded Oguta community and ferried away a popular businessman, Emeka Aseme, to an unknown destination. Aseme, who is the proprietor of the popular Niger Plaza Oguta was reportedly picked by the hoodlums who appeared incognito in full military regalia with Hilux Toyota van to deceive the eagle eyed local vigilance group manning the town. The bandits reportedly entered the town through the Egbu-oma road linking the town with Owerri, the state capital.

A prominent indigene of the community who simply gave his name as Nani told the Daily Independent that the incident which occurred Sunday evening between 8-9 pm shook the ancient town to its very foundation with incessant shootings by the bandits. Nani, who described the shooting as the worst in the history of the town, said the hoodlums on siting their victim began a shooting spree to scare people away and thereafter, captured their victim.

Men of the Oguta Local Government Divisional police who later engaged the hoodlums in a gun duel lost two of their members in the exchange of gun shots while the hoodlums escaped through the adjoining Egbuoma Road.

Aseme was said to have been shot severally on the leg before being taken away by the abductors.

The PPRO, Vitalis Onugu (DSP), could not respond to calls put to him by the Daily Independent for confirmation.

Anyways, me I'm waiting for ACN to put him up as whatever, I will definately give him my vote.

I think this is just another plot to discredit Okorocha in the short run and dissuade the igbo nation from supporting the new party in the long run . . . . . Its funny how people can display a high sense of hypocrisy.

Yet the likes of okrorocha and co are making the ground very leveled up for the islamic north in imo state, why?
