Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has declared war on kidnappers and other criminals in the state, saying “it is now fire for fire.”


Okorocha, who spoke against the backdrop of continued cases of kidnapping and armed robbery in the state, warned unrepentant kidnappers, “henceforth it will be fire for fire.”

According to him, “I want to state that one of the challenges we have had as a state has been insecurity, especially kidnapping. The time is up for the kidnappers.”

He assured the citizenry that “there will be no more kidnapping anywhere again in the state because we have taken the necessary measures to curb the menace. Now, we have resolved to march fire for fire.”

Okorocha lamented that his appeals to kidnappers and armed robbers to repent from their criminal activities and engage in meaningful activities fell on deaf ears.

It will be recalled that Imo State had been under siege, especially from the beginning of this year and despite the huge monetary reward of N1 million announced by the state government for any person that gives credible information that would lead to the arrest of kidnappers and armed robbers.

Mr Gov, you spoke well as a concerned governor, but you did not identify how you will match them fire for fire. I'm not asking that you discuss strategies in public, but at least, you can highlight what your security agenda are. I was expecting the article to say something achievable such as, improved training tactics, improved security systems, et al... Anyway, good talk but the imitative is found wanting.

doublecross: i have every reason to believe you are one of these kidnappers. If not....you will not open your mouth to say such noncense. How can you say he should even gove you a tip of what he intends to do. A ttip is enough for the kidnappers. this is the problem goddluck jonah is having with boko haram. he announces his strategies to the boko haram people. Please i beg of you Okorocha....keep on with the good work and never give a damn tip to anybody. these kidnappers will pay for all their sins. God bless IMO STATE.

Olodostein:

Why should he tell you of the details? Are you his commisioner of police? Why didn't you ask Obama why did't he tell the American people and perhaps YOU of his plans to voilate Pakistan's airspace to kill Osama eeh?

Atleast he has the guts to speak out. What are other Eastern governors like Peter Obi, Orji, Chime doing to curb the menance in their home turf, instead they are crying at the senate for the FG to intervene.

Instead of give him the moral support regardless, you wants details in another planet. LOL.

manny4life:


Ok, I see people are not reading my post, where in my post did I say he should discuss his details?

Why are you comparing Obama that oversees 300 million + citizens, more than half a million service members to Okorocha who oversees a states that's not even the size of VA? So please, when you want to do the comparison, START out with similar state like DC or VA. Now moving on,

Perfect example, when the DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier under the mayor discussed her security agenda for the city, to curb increased crime rate including murder she clearly stated, what her agenda was. If I recall very carefully when I read it, these were her short term goals

1. We're improving the training of officers particularly first responders.

2. Increased patrol of officers in hot crime areas. In addition to that, improved guidelines on how to identify and deter crime. In addition to that, the district improved and upgraded their systems including patrol vehicles.

2. Setting up a "SPECIAL" emergency response team that act really quickly and FAST. In addition to that, they are expanding their recruiting exercises.

3. Improve the "snitiching program", you know what I mean.


What does this mean? She stated her agenda, everyone knew about it, but did she go into details about her program? Answer is NO. Do she discuss that officers cross train with Homeland Security and FBI agents? NO, she did not because she did not state but she emphasized about improved training, you get the idea right?. I hope you get the idea. State your agenda and leave the details.

BTW, please stop acting like this and making Pakistan as an example, you're better than this. That was a classified mission that ONLY A FEW KEY PEOPLE in the president's cabinet knew. The president has highlighted through his administrative agencies security agenda or should I say "focal point" for the nation. For instance, Homeland security, once every year, review and publish their agenda for instance for airports and customs. One of their agenda may include, improving or upgrading high tech systems at airports (which they have published), increased training on TSA agents. Read up on the Washington Post, Secretary of Defense has often spoken about their agenda but they do NOT divulge details.

Brilliant....

Don't mind that man.... His problems are BIGGER than IMO state literarily..

When you have a wife that weighs the same as a small SUV, it's hard to come up with bright ideas cos you barely sleep well at night cos she occupies 3 quarters of the bed and hugs the nitre blanket
