Following alleged threat by a faction of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), known as Biafra Zionist Federation(BZF), to storm other South-East States to...
hoist its flag in their Government Houses, the Imo State Government has beefed up security around the Government House, Owerri.
In a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on media, Sam Onwuemeodo, the government urged the people of the state not to panic as their lives and properties would be protected. The government, it said, has also moved to nip the threat in the bud.
The government therefore, warned the BZF to stay away from the state as any attempt by the group to destabilise the existing peace in the state would be suicidal .The statement also urged visitors to the Government House and the state in general to cooperate with security personnel and others working, to ensure that the state remains the most peaceful state in the country.
The leadership of the BZF had claimed responsibility for the attack on Enugu State Government House and hinted in the media, that the next target is Owerri, the Imo State capital.
