Uzodimma Vows To Tackle Insecurity In Imo
The Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma has reiterated his administration’s dedication to addressing insecurity in Imo State, asserting that acts of sabotage will not hinder the government’s resolute efforts to safeguard lives and property.
The governor stated this shortly after the Holy Eucharist at the Government House Chapel in Owerri. He emphasized that strategic and deliberate measures are being implemented to enhance safety across the state.
He emphasized that an essential component of the government’s security strategy involves enhancing grassroots participation, which includes the proactive incorporation of community-based structures into the wider security framework.
He said: “As part of our efforts, we are expanding the reach of the Imo State Vigilante Group to every nook and cranny of our villages. This will ensure that our communities are not only secure but also actively involved in defending themselves against criminal elements.”
Condemning recent acts of sabotage witnessed in some parts of the state, the Governor described such actions as threats to both security and sustainable development.
“These unfortunate acts of sabotage not only endanger lives but also hinder the progress and growth of our society. We must all come together in unity to defend and develop our beloved Imo,” he urged.
Uzodimma also expressed deep sympathy to families who lost loved ones in the recent attack, describing the incident as painful and deeply regrettable.
“My heart goes out to the families affected by this senseless violence. We stand with you in this time of grief, and we remain resolute in ensuring that justice is served and that such tragedies do not repeat themselves,” he said.
The Governor called on residents to collaborate with government agencies and security outfits in securing the state, adding that peace and development can only thrive in an atmosphere of collective responsibility.
