Eight people were said to have sustained various degrees of injuries and 30 escaped in a clash with angry youths during a demolition exercise in Orlu town, Imo state. Narrating the story, yesterday, to Vanguard in Owerri, the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Rochas Okorocha on Mayoral Affairs, Mr Emeka Osuorji, led the team of government officials on the demolition exercise.


According to Osuorji, he decided to retreat with his men when the angered youths poured fuel on their vehicles and on themselves. He added that the ugly incident took place at Owus Avenue by Amigbo road in the area, and that they could be on a suicide mission.

The government official said: ” For the past one month there has been announcement for the inhabitants of Orlu city to remove the shanties, containers and illegal structures on the major streets in Orlu town. “But It was an ugly situation, when myself and my men and some security agents, went on the removal of the shanties and illegal structures. “At first it was first peaceful while we were removing the shanties, half way into the action, some youths mobilized themselves, few of them we have identified. They attacked me and my men. “Two out of the youths poured petrol on themselves and on our vehicles, in my decent manner of carrying out my duties I sensed the situation was getting real bad, I called my men and all the security men and we retreated to my office. “That one did not deter them they still came after us and came to our office but they did not gain entrance into our office.


I am not going to shy away what happened because it was a lesson. “However, Eight of my staff were seriously injured, their phones were stolen, monies were stolen but nobody died.” He alleged that, “The people at Owus by Amigbo road, that is where we met this resistance. From what I got the youths who collect money from these illegal structures carried out this attack.”

Has it come to that?

Veiled attack on Governor. Rochas Okorocha started committing political suicide right from Orlu senatorial zone he abandoned.

Don't look further...the ogbunigwe criminal warriors are behind this. They attack and steal from people just to have money to donate to their jobless kiing of pigs... they will sonn be arrested and disgraced.

lol

Okorocha govt hates Orlu like piece of shit, and it gives him joy.

A governor that boasts on the streets of Owerri that he is doing nearly all his development projects in the state capital.

Except the 5km total road dualized in Orlu and placed street lamps on them, and a school of hygiene, nothing else in 6+ years in Orlu from Okorocha govt..

Try to pretend that you're wise sometimes

For them to pour the fuel on themselves shows that they are highly aggrieved. It's evident they have been neglected by Rochas.


Meanwhile,the guy above me is savage.
