Rochas Okorocha, the former governor of Imo state, has managed to escape last Friday's attempted murder by gunmen in Ihube town on the Okigwe-Enugu road.
The sad incident happened When he attended the birthday party of Samuel Anyanwu, the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) Gubernatorial candidate of Imo state, on Sunday in Amaimo, Ikeduru council area of the state, Okorocha briefly discussed the attack.
According to reports, Okorocha's security was being provided by a security convoy from the Enugu state government.
Okorocha quickly explained further, saying;
“Why is it that after spending two days in Enugu, peacefully. It was only when i came to Imo state that i was attacked. The convoy that brought me to Imo when they were going back to Enugu, they were attacked and one person was killed.
“Why must it be so in Imo state. I am not happy with what is happening in Imo state. The convoy helped to convey me to the burial ceremony of the mother of former governor, Emeka Ihedioha.”
He added: “The convoy also dropped me at my Spibat mansion in Owerri. As they were driving back to Enugu, the convoy was attacked. This is so bad in this Imo state.”
