Hon. Odunzeh, who described the attack as barbaric and unacceptable, called on security agencies in the state to unravel those behind the attack and immediately bring them to book.
He decried the spate of killings in the state and reiterated his resolve to bring all forms of insecurity to an end when he elected as governor.
He called on the Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinmma, to brace up and safeguard the lives of citizens, adding that he has the constitutional obligation to protect lives and properties.
“I am sad. My heart is heavy in what our state has turned into. It is disheartening that our imo has become an epicenter for nefarious activities where lives are no longer valued” he lamented
“I never envisaged a day like this in our history. What a sad commentary, the governor must brace up and safeguard lives and properties of Ndi-imo because he has that constitutional obligation”
