Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu to the Inspector General of Police over what they described as withholding information on the pervading criminality and insecurity in the south east and allegation of sponsorship and connivance of Gov. Hope Uzodimma in that order.

Ugochinyere had on Arise TV programme made unfounded allegations against Gov. Hope Uzodimma bordering on; Gov. Uzodimma and other governor's in the south east, where he stated that they are enjoying criminality as it benefits them, thus alleging that Gov. Uzodimma is sponsoring and recruiting unknown gunmen into Ebubeagu vigilante group, Imo State, and as such stated that the Governor is fuelling crisis and killings in South east.

Furthermore, he also alledeged that Imo State Governor Is attacking citizens and their properties and that since the crisis in the south east started, that Imo State Governor is sponsoring the killings in Ohaji Egbema, Orsu, Okigwe, Onuimo and Arondiuzuogu.

The group said that these claims by Hon. Ugochinyere is another calculated attempt to politicize and smear the image of the Gov. Hope Uzodimma and that of his brother Governor's from the south east by making them complacent to the insecurity that has ravaged the South east.

The group therefore called on the Inspector General of police to immediately invite and investigate Ugochinyere's accusations in line with the constitution and criminal code of Nigeria since he has a good knowledge of the operations of these non state actors and undertake by to facilitate peace and order in the south east region.

Recall that Gov. Hope Uzodimma with other leaders from the zone had meet on several occasions on issues bordering on insecurity in the region and has continued to chart new ways to curb and bring to its finality the issue of insecurity in the South east.
