The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, has come under fire from the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) for the recent killing of innocent youths from Otulu town in the state’s Oru East Local Government Area.
Recall that seven wedding guests were shot and killed by gunmen who were reportedly working for the Ebubeagu security outfit.
WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that the ugly incident happened when the victims were going back to their community in Otulu in Oru East Local Government Area of the State.
Governor Uzodimma urged the residents of Imola not to believe rumours spreading about the recent incident at Awo Omamma involving security personnel and some bad guys in response to the ugly development.
He blamed the unfortunate incident on the actions of a few desperate politicians in Imo State, who he claimed were trying to topple the government by spreading lies on social media and using them as a form of blackmail.
But MASSOB, in a press release signed by the leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, forwarded to newsmen on Friday, disagreed with the governor’s stand on the scenario.
He described Uzodinma as a serial and pathological liar.
The pro-biafra group posited that Uzodinma had disappointed Ndigbo and imo State in particular by declaring the murdered defenceless youths from Otulu as bandits and unknown gunmen, regretting that it was disheartening that the Imo governor would descend so low without conscience and atom of God’s fear in defending his blood-sucking dogs.
MASSOB insisted that the murdered youths from Otulu were innocent youths and were not criminal bandits or members of unknown gunmen as the Imo helmsman wants the world to believe, maintaining that the slain youths were responsible young men doing apprentice work in Otulu.
According to the orgainzation, “Ndigbo will never forget this atrocious murdering of innocent and defenceless youths from Otulu town. Governor Hope Uzodinma will dearly pay for his insensitivity and wickedness to Ndigbo”.
MASSOB, however, vowed that no amount of propaganda or twisting of the truth will ever save Uzodinma, because, nobody will believe his stories.
