Hope Uzodinma, Governor of Imo State, has urged those responsible for insecurity in the South-East region to sheath their swords and put an end to the killings.

He made the request after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari about the rising insecurity in the region, particularly in Imo, following the bombing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo leader Prof. George Obiozor’s house.

Uzodinma pleaded with the ‘Unknown Gunmen’ to stop all the killings in an interview with BBC Igbo.

He said, “The president told me to come and brief him on all that was happening in not just Imo state but the entire Igbo land. We discussed actions to take to make the region better which is why I am pleading with my brothers and sisters, all our young men and women because I found out that there are some of them who don’t understand what we are doing.
 
“Those who believe in tying charms around their waists and doing whatever they like, attacking police stations and killing people, I am pleading with you to stop.
