*Imo Remains Peaceful Despite Failed attacks by the Enemies of the State*

Few days back, Imo state Governor; Dist. Sen. Hope Uzodimma was a guest on a live TV program; Politics today, a program aired by the Channels Television.

He made many statements of facts as it concerns the State. He shared with the world, Nigerians and Imolites in particular how Imo has fared under his watch.

He pointed to major cardinal projects his administration has embarked on, particularly the ones he has completed and the ongoing ones.

He said *"Even the opposition now know and believe that something good is happening in Imo state"* Of a Truth, Imo has experienced great changes since the inception of this administration despite all the disturbances it has encountered.

The Governor also informed all imolites on how secured Imo has become after experiencing some pockets of politically contrived violence in the form of insurgency which is evident in resurgence of investors in the state, a fit the the enemies of the state was never comfortable with thus their horse kicks few days in the state.

They set their misguided followers up to wreck havoc on the hapless citizens but unknowing to them that the state now has more efficient, high moral and well motivated security personnels.

Umuguma Police Divisional Headquarters was their first point of call, they were repelled and roundly humiliated.

They limped to Omuma Divisional police headquarters, They were met with superior fire powers, by the vigilant security personnels there and four of their comrades were neutralized and was summarily sent to the judgement throne of the Almighty while others had no option than running while scampering for safety with various degrees of life threatening bullet wounds, some has been reined in by the police while some are still on the run which am sure that they will be apprehended or neutralized in the nearest future.

There's no gainsaying the fact that it was same gang of bandits that attempted to over run the Umuguma police station were the same people that met their Waterloo in Omuma because it was same mode of operation they exhibited in both places....

The Camera footage gotten from the Umuguma police division showed clearly the faces of the Four villains that succumbed to the more fire force of the security agents stationed at Omuma Police division an indication that the rest will be caught because their Facial ID has been been gotten, all thanks to the CCTV footages gotten from both divisions.

The government of Imo is poised to protect the law abiding citizens of the state while advising the hoodlums, their sponsors and cheerleaders to relocate to another place for Imo will never be comfortable with them.

As a Concerned Imolite, I will advice all youths to avoid the temptation of being used as cannon fodder by those who does not mean well for them. It will be appropriate to request their kids to lead in all the violent actions because both of you passed through the same process of birth and they also have blood running in their veins.....
