Raise Alarm Over Alleged Fresh Looting
By Samuel Ibezim
The condemnable ongoing looting of Imo State property seems not to have stooped. Trumpeta has gathered that the alleged brazen looting of government properties have continued with the ceramics in Ezinachi, Okigwe LGA of Imo State.
In a timely effort to put a stop to this massive looting, a group known as Citizens Action Response, CAR, has been founded to help protect property of the state among other functions. The body has appealed to the people to see every property in the state as their own and not government property. Also, it urged Imolites to raise the alarm and call the attention of the constituted authorities when they suspect illegal movements and carting away of whatever public facility in their various communities.
Similarly, Trumpeta was informed of a trailer of rods that left the Government House through Rapour junction to an unknown destination before it was spotted.
It would be recalled that since the outgoing government of Rochas Ethelbert Okorocha, Imo State governor, failed in his bid to elect his son in-law, Uche Nwosu as next Imo State governor, a massive looting has been going on in the state. Not week passes without stories of the alleged looting of government items like the street solar poles that generate light at night and fancy chairs at Imo International Conference Center, IICC. Also, it has been alleged that electricity transformers and power generating plants among other things have been carted away by people who claimed to be supporters and relatives of the outgoing government. Ironically, the government of Rochas Okorocha has not come out to condemn the act. And it has given room for the people to speculate that his administration is aware of it.
