Following the unabating insecurity in Imo State, Southeast, Nigeria, the Governor of the State, Hope Uzodinma has appealed to unknown gunmen to lay down their arms.
The Governor urged the gunmen still hiding in the bush to perpetuate insecurity in some parts of the state to come out and embrace peace.
Uzodinma advised them to come out from their hiding and lay down their arms and join society in contributing positively to the progress of the State.
This is even as he promised that his government will be willing to assist them in any kind of business of their choice. The Governor urged to choose any business that will make them to be useful to themselves and society.
Uzodinma made the appeal during the funeral rites of the slain former Imo APC Woman leader, Orlu zone, Jenny Rachael Okonkwo.
Recall that the Woman leader was murdered in 2022 by suspected hoodlums who dumped her lifeless body in the bush.
The Governor, however, condemned the conditions under which the woman leader was assassinated.
Uzodinma made this remark while addressing a gathering of mourners at the country home of the late APC woman leader in Ogberuru, Orlu LGA. He bemoaned the killing, saying that the Party and the State lost a gem in her.
