Following the burning down of the National Open University and the residence of former Senator Frank Ibezim, the Imo State Police Command has issued a stern warning to residents of the State.

Giving the warning in Owerri, the State Capital, the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma cautioned the people to refrain from behaviours capable of causing social unrest in the State.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, PRO, ASP Henry Okoye.

While describing the incident as unfortunate, he noted that act was capable of undermining the safety and security in the state.

“The Command stands firmly against such acts. And will take all necessary measures in synergy with other security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice” the statement said.

The CP, therefore, promptly ordered the deployment of the Command’s tactical unit to identify and apprehend those responsible for the arson.

Additionally, Danjuma also instructed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department to conduct a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the incident.

He emphasized that no individual involved in the attack will escape what he termed as the full legal consequences. He maintained that the Command is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice is served.

Danjuma further urged the public to refrain from spreading fake news. Or making inciting statements that could destabilize the current peace in the State. The CP warned that anyone found guilty of perpetuating false information will face the consequences.

He reassured that the police in synergy with other security agencies are dedicated to maintaining peace and order. He also encouraged citizens to cooperate with law enforcement efforts to safeguard the communities.

According to source, the burning of Senator Ibezim’s house and the NOUN buildings is linked to fake news.

There was a fake news that the Federal Government was building an IDP camp in the area.

The news alleged that there was a plan by the Federal Government to create an IDP camp in the LGA. It rumoured that camp is for people displaced by insecurity in the northern part of the country. That the IDP camp would be cited in Nsu Ehime Mbano LGA.

The source maintained that before the burning incident, Ibezim had earlier made public announcement debunking a rumour.

The State Government also debunked the rumour. Stating that what Federal Government is actually trying to do is to build an Acquisition Centre. The centre is for the training of youths in the State.
