According to a statement by Hon. Declan Emelumba, Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Imo State, gallant security operatives this morning repelled an attack on the Omuma country home of the governor of Imo State, Sen Hope Uzodimma.
At about 9am today, Saturday, April 24th, a group of hoodlums numbering about 15 driving in a motorcade of three vehicles accompanied by a tipper loaded with used tyres, stormed the country home of the governor in Omuma, Oru East LGA and attempted to burn down the house.
However, vigilant security operatives attached to the Governor’s house successfully repelled the attack and consequently minimised the damage they had planned to unleash.
In the cross fire that ensued a few casualties were recorded. Preliminary investigation suggests that the foiled attack may have been politically sponsored #ImoSponsoredAttacks
Imo State Government has directed the relevant security agencies to expedite investigation on the incident and promptly apprehend the sponsors and their agents and bring them to justice.

So, @blainekasten from Minneapolis (that's what his bio says) tweeted that he is thinking of coming to start a Company in Nigeria because there are good engineers & designers.
Check the replies from Nigerians Youth. I will try and tag them all. I got tired of taking screenshots.
Imo state has been a flashpoint for all manner of attacks by some elements for some time now.
The happenings within the state, calls for urgent attention to pause and think where possibly the instigation of unrest in the state must have emanated from .
It is obvious that certain aggrieved political overlords are not happy having lost to hold grip of the state hence engaging and siding with unscrupulous elements to make Imo State ungovernable for Gov Hope Uzodimma.
Imo state before now was one of the most peaceful states in South East before Gov Hope Uzodimma came on board via the Court judgement.
It is also clear that Gov Uzodimma has done well as against the widely sold falsehood that Imo was in for stagnation & unserious governance.
Meanwhile, according to a report from @Vanguard_Group
