Amby Uneze in Owerri
Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma yesterday disclosed that a Biafran separatist organisation, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) hijacked and bastardised a regional security initiative the South-east governors agreed to establish like other geopolitical zones nationwide.
Uzodimma, whose victory at the Supreme Court is currently being challenged, disclosed that the governors from the geo-political zone would soon establish a new regional security outfit to complement the conventional security agencies.
He revealed the plan at a session with members of the Correspondentsâ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) at the Government House, Owerri, yesterday.
At the session, Uzodinma said before now, the Eastern Security Network was the brainchild of the governors of the Southeast geo-political zone until the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) hijacked and bastardised the process.
