The peaceful and orderly conduct of the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Imo State otherwise known as Imo 11/ 11, is apparently under a severe threat as insecurity, particularly gunmen attack, has dangerously resurfaced in many parts of the Heartland clime.
In what looked like a grandiose and highly sophisticated plot as well as an effrontery against the entire security agencies in the state, gunmen, last Tuesday, September 19, 2023, at about 9am in the Umualumaku community, Ehime Mbano Local Government Area, ambushed, killed and set ablaze eight soldiers, policemen and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC. Their two vehicles were equally burnt in the well coordinated attacks that took place along the road leading to the popular Aba Branch – Oriagu Road in Ehime Mbano LGA.
