Imo Political war continues, Ohakim Convoy ambushed, 4 police orderlies killed
Fleeing gunmen on Monday attacked a convoy of a former
governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, and killed four of his police orderlies in
the process.
Ohakim’s convoy was attacked at Oriagu in the Ehime Mbano
Local Government Area of the state on Monday evening.
Ohakim who escaped by the whiskers had his backup vehicle
bombed, leading to the death of the four policemen in his convoy.
Our correspondent gathered that Ohakim was with two of his
children and was returning from a visit when the gunmen struck.
A source close to the ex-governor disclosed that it took the
bravery of the driver of Ohakim for him to escape.
The source said, “his excellency was the main target but his
driver was smart enough to beat them because they were driving to block him.
“Disappointed that their main target had escaped, they
blocked his backup vehicle and burnt it. The four policemen with him burnt.”
Our correspondent gathered that a reinforcement came from
Owerri, the state capital and escorted him to his house.
Ohakim who spoke to our correspondent was sober.
