Politicians have been fingered as the masterminds of the attacks that took place in Imo State on Monday.
Governor Hope Uzodinma, who disclosed this in a Channels TV programme, however, did not give the names of the politicians.
He said from the investigations he carried out so far, “I have a credible intelligence as to those who are sponsoring the activities of these hoodlums.”
“But what is important to take home is for Nigerians to know of the plot by a group of aggrieved politicians to destablise the government of APC,” he said.
Uzodinma countered the police on Iindigegenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), insisting that it’s the handiwork of those he called aggrieved politicians.
“The police had earlier said the Eastern Security Network (ESN), an outfit of IPOB, was behind the violence in the state. They (politicians) try to identify grievances of people in a particular area. They hire hoodlums from outside Imo State. They bring them in pretending to be IPOB and they commit this crime and they go away.
