GOVT OF IMO STATE BPRESS RELEASE-ILLEGAL TASK FORCES

GOVERNMENT OF IMO STATE
PRESS RELEASE
SUBJECT: ILLEGAL TASK FORCES & COMMITTEES ON RECOVERY OF PUBLIC PROPERTY
This is to inform the general public and Imo people in particular that those operating as members of Committees on Recovery of Public Property and Task Forces on internally generated Revenue, Motor Parks, Street trading and so on, who have been carting away people’s belongings and extorting money from their victims are not from Governor Rochas Okorocha or from the Rescue Mission Government in the State.
The Rescue Mission Government in the State has less than two months to wind up and has no need to set up Committees on Recovery of Public Property and Task forces that have been extorting money from innocent Citizens.
Let us also State that Imo people ought to know who are the people doing all these at this time. Without mincing words, they are PDP members. All these nauseating activities are their known stocks in trade. They have gone on rampage and doing so in a very disgusting manner.
They are the ones extorting money from the motorists especially at Mbaise Road and Douglas Road roundabout, Fire Service Roundabout, Amakohia, Orji, FED-Poly Nekede junction, Douglas Road and Ikenegbu road. They seize vehicles from motorists for extortion.
They are the ones taking away the Street lights and other installations in the State Capital and environs. They have thrown caution to the wind.
We want to inform Imo people and the general public that we are not behind these illegal Committees on Recovery of Public Property and the task forces. The government of Owelle Rochas Okorocha has not been known for all these cut and nail activities. The PDP people are doing all these. And they know the truth. That is their style.
It is also important to ask our people to resist them because they are illegal. The Security Agencies have also been alerted with regard to all these anomalies. They should wait till May 29 before unleashing terror on our people. They should not hide under the prevailing Scenario in the State at the moment to inconvenience our people. Let them wait till May 29, before going haywire.
Sam Onwuemeodo
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor
