The Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma, on Wednesday promised to flush out internet fraudsters popularly known as ‘yahoo yahoo boys’ from the state.


The governor, who spoke in his maiden broadcast to people of the state, said he would launch Operation Flush Out Criminals, to tackle kidnapping and all forms of crimes in the state.



The governor said, “We shall create a Neighbourhood Security Watch code-named ‘North East West.’

“It will involve a coordinated network of Community Intelligence Gathering Programme in liaison with the NPF, DSS, NSCDC, NSO and some private security companies.



“In tandem, we shall launch Operation “FOC,” (Flush Out Criminals) – a combined security operations targeted at flashpoints and centres of high criminal activities, including hideouts, jungles, uncompleted buildings, forest, shrines, lakes and the creeks.



“Whether in Ohaji Egbema, or Nwaorieubi Shrine at Ifakala, or in the thick jungle at Akokwa, or Njaba or Urashi, we shall rout them and free our society of the menace of banditry, kidnappings, and ritual killings including Yahoo-Plus, and Alibaba Gangstars. It shall be a “SAD” season for criminals in Imo State.”

Uzodinma said community leaders, traditional rulers and leaders of town unions, would partner his administration in tackling insecurity.



He said, “Community leaders, traditional rulers and town union presidents, shall be held responsible for any security lapses within their domain.



“Failure to report, concealing or benefiting directly or indirectly from proceeds of criminal activities, shall attract maximum punishment.”

Nice one coming from the Chairman of all chairmen for the game...

Perhaps he has realized the evil inherent in stealing from hardworking individuals and truly repented.

He'll surely make a good ambassador for this cause having been at the highest echelon of the game.

I just hope this man is not another brainless person! Deliver the dividend of democracy to the people. Take them out of poverty and make life easier for the people of IMO.

I did a background check on Hope Uzodinma and found nothing tangible. Someone told me that he is called the dollar man and his loot is as high as heaven.

Mr governor create jobs for the jobless youths should be your top priority. So that they won't be excuse.
