Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, who made this known in a statement, also said that adequate steps had been taken to ensure adequate security in all the nooks and crannies of the state.
“The leadership of the Zionist Biafra, which admitted being responsible for the attack on Enugu State Government House, had also said in the media that their next target is Owerri, the Imo State capital,” Onwuemeodo stated.
According to the SSA, government has taken exception to that threat and has also moved to nip it in the bud.
Onwuemeodo added that all the security agencies in the state had been alerted of the threat.
He said: “They will work in tandem with other agencies of the state government to ensure that the long existing peace in the state is not brought under any threat or jeopardised by any group, no matter which name, such group goes with.”
While urging visitors to Government House, Owerri, and the state to cooperate with security personnel and others working to ensure that Imo State remained the most peaceful state in the country. Onwuemeodo, however, warned that “any attempt by any group to harm the peace of the state will be stoutly resisted.”
