BY CHIDI NKWOPARA, OWERRI.
Imo State Police Command yeaterday
in Owerri, arrested Mr. Okechukwu
Okorocha, the Senior Special Adviser,
SSA, on Security Matters, to Governor
Rochas Okorocha, for allegedly
stockpiling arms and ammunition
apparently for the purpose of
disrupting election in the State.
Similarly, four members of Imo
Security Network, ISN, a security
contraption established by the
Rochas Okorocha administration, are
also cooling their heels in police
cells for the same offence.
Parading the suspects before
newsmen at the State Police
Headquarters, Owerri, the
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Austin
Evbakhavbokun, said that the arrest
of the security aide and ISN
personnel, followed a tip off.
“The arrest of the SSA and the illegal
security personnel followed a very
reliable tip off and subsequent
search operation conducted by the
State Criminal Investigation
Department, SCID, at his house and
premises led to the recovery of the
arms and ammunitions”, the CP said.
The Imo Police boss, who spoke
through Public Public Relations
Officer, PPRO, Mr. Andrew Enwerem,
a deputy superintendent of police,
DSP, disclosed that “in the course of
the operation, the police recovered
three pump action automatic rifles,
24 life cartridges and a Ken
WalkieTalkie”.
Continuing, the CP said that in a
similar operation at the security post
of Imo Security Network at Egbeada
Housing Estate, on the outskirts of
Owerri Municipality, apprehended
four members of Okorocha’s ISN, as
well as recovered three automatic
pump action riffles and 14 live
cartridges.
He gave the names of the suspects
as Kelechi Onuoha, Chigozie
Uzowuru, Osita Obiako and Aka
Linus.
On why the Okorocha men were
stockpiling arms and ammunitions,
the CP said it was aimed at
disrupting the general elections in
the state.
Answering a question, the CP
recalled that soon after assuming
office in Imo, he issued a warning
that all unapproved security outfits
should surrender their arms to the
Police.
“The arrest of the suspects was in
order, considering the time for the
general election scheduled to begin
today”, the CP said.
Speaking to newsmen, the SSA to the
Governor explained that before his
arrest, he had asked his men to
surrender their arms for onward
submission to the police, adding
that since his directive, he had
surrendered a number of arms to
the police, which is in their
inventory.
“I was surprised to see arms
recovered in one of my rooms. The
recovered arms may be the ones ISN
members could not return earlier
before I traveled”, Mr. Okorocha
said.
He further explained that before
now, his men had been working
closely with the police, adding that
Imo Security Network has
contributed in the reduction of
kidnapping in the state.

Too bad


Please fellow Nigerians say no to violence, vote and don't instigate violence. Results of electoral violence may include loss of life, property, chaos, possibly civil war amongst others

However,

your vote is your choice but don't be deceived. Embedded in change is transformation. Without change, there can't be transformation.

Sai Buhari

please vote wisely

God Bless Nigeria

sold at 20naira per derica, ponmo will still be
cheaper than beef, your Landlord will not
reduce his rent, your salary will most likely
remain the same for another couple of years, I

never get to use, MC oluomo will still control
Oshodi, DSTV will not reduce monthly
subscription, MTN will not give you FREEBIES

but onething is super certain, your hustle will
always put food on your table. Just vote, don’t
impose your opinion on us, GEJ is a lion,
