Those behind insecurity in the South-East region have been urged to sheath their swords and stop the killings.<\/p>\n
The Governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodinma made the plea following his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari over the rising insecurity in the region, especially in Imo following the bombing of the house of Ohanaeze Ndigbo leader, Prof. George Obiozor.<\/p>\n
Speaking to BBC Igbo, Uzodinma pleaded with the \u2018Unknown Gunmen\u2019 to stop all the killings.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThe president told me to come and brief him on all that was happening in not just Imo state but the entire Igbo land. We discussed actions to take to make the region better which is why I am pleading with my brothers and sisters, all our young men and women because I found out that there are some of them who don\u2019t understand what we are doing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose who believe in tying charms around their waists and doing whatever they like, attacking police stations and killing people, I am pleading with you to stop.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am appealing to them to stop the bloodshed and have the fear of God.<\/p>\n
\u201cI pleaded with the President to help me and he said he would.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
