A former governor of Imo state, Sen. Rochas Okorocha’s convoy was attacked by gunmen, leaving one policeman dead.
Okorocha, who represents Imo West in the National Assembly, was attacked at the Ihube community on the Okigwe-Enugu expressway on Friday.
He disclosed this on Sunday at Amaimo in the Ikeduru Local Government Area of the state at the birthday anniversary celebration of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the November 11 governorship election in Imo state, Samuel Anyanwu.
He described the killing of the cop as “unfortunate.”
According to him, he was on his way to the burial ceremony of the mother of a former Governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, when he was attacked.
Okorocha said it was after he had finished attending the funeral ceremony at Mbaise and the convoy had dropped him at his Spilbat mansion in Owerri and was heading back to Enugu that they were attacked.
“I am angry. I am very angry. I am angry because I spent two days in Enugu and nothing happened to me, but it is in my own state that the convoy released to me by the governor of Enugu State (a very good man)…
“What is happening in Imo State makes me angry. Many people who are running to govern Imo State are not capable, but I have seen one man whose cap fits. When it is time, I will speak,” he said.
