Senator Athan Nneji Achonu, Labour Party Governorship candidate in Imp State in the November 11 election in the state has condemned in strong terms Tuesday morning killing of security operatives in Ehime Mbano, Imo State , saying the dastardly act is reprehensible, condemnable and unavailable.

He said the attack and killing of eight security operatives in his own local government area and constituency was as shocking as it is despicable and must be condemned by all well meaning and patriotic Nigerians.

He said that he was particularly pained having spent personal resources to fixed nine faulty Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) five of which was expected to be deployed in the Local government area.

He therefore asked the State government to provide content reason why such security facility is not deployed in the state to protect security personnel.
He said:

“I received with shock the news of the despicable murder of eight security operatives in Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State today.

“That unconscionable murder of innocent security operatives in the line of duty is reprehensible, highly condemnable, and unacceptable in a modern society like ours.

“The latest onslaught in the recurrent sparks of violence is more condemnable because it happened in my own constituency.

“I feel particularly hurt by this carnage, having invested millions of my personal funds to repair nine faulty Armoured Personnel Carriers, APCs, out of which five were supposed to be deployed in Okigwe Zone to ensure the safety of these security operatives in the exercise of their high-risk job.

“Apart from using them to rig the last elections in the state, the government should explain the whereabouts of these vehicles and the uses to which they are deployed.

“Therefore, I call on the state government to deploy the same in the area immediately for the safety of these security personnel.

“I hope the state government has not run short of ideas on how to secure the lives and property of the people, which is its primary assignment.

“It is inexplicable that Imo State has become a war theatre and epicenter of violence and bloodbath in the entire South-east.

“I also call on the Federal Government to rejig the entire security apparatchik in Imo State because Ndi Imo shall no longer accept this horrific waste of lives and property.

“While I condole the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Police Force and the entire security network, and families of the fallen heroes, I also plead with the people shedding innocent blood to desist.

“I also charge Ndi Imo not to surrender to the blackmail of the enemy of the people but to remain resolute in their desire to enthrone light over darkness”.
