Lawan stated this in Owerri on Friday while inaugurating a road project completed by Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo.
He said that the aim of the attackers was probably to cause a distraction for the Imo government or even the Federal Government.
The road which was named after a former Senate President,
Late Chief Evan Enwerem, was one of the infrastructural projects inaugurated to mark Uzodinma’s one year in office.
Lawan advised the people to take ownership of the projects, utilise them well and protect them as their projects.
