The Imo State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused governor Hope Uzodinma of culpability in series of extrajudicial killings in the state.
Charles Ugwu, the state chairman of the party, asked the governor to account for the killing of innocent civilians in the state.
Ugwu alleged that the governor failed to address the security issues in the state because he was masterminding them.
He, however, lamented that prominent sons and daughters of Imo had been killed within a space of one month and the governor has done nothing about it.
“The governor has to tell us what he knows about the gruesome murder of the Oru-east PDP Youth Leader as well as that of his friend, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak.
“There is no gainsaying that the Uzodinma-led government lacks the competence and willpower to protect the lives of the people.
“We, therefore, urge the federal government to set up a panel to investigate the governor to find out the root cause of the extrajudicial killings in Imo State.
“Meanwhile, we appeal to all Imolites to remain calm and prayerful in this trying period”.
