Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State has condemned the razing of Obowo LGA Divisional Police Headquarters and the killing of a policeman in his house.
It also frowned at the recent attacks on the council headquarters of the Isiala Mbano LGA of the state where security guards were killed by yet to be identified gunmen.
The major opposition party in the state made these known via a press statement made available to pressmen by its state publicity secretary, Lancelot Obiaku.
He said, “Our party maintains that the continuous mindless attacks on public facilities and the killing of innocent citizens are unjustifiable and have no place in our culture and nationhood.
“We commiserate with the families and friends of the victims and, indeed, all Imolites who have been thrown into deep sorrow and anguish.”
PDP also wondered why the APC-led government of Hope Uzodinma failed to put mitigation that would checkmate the incessant attacks in the state in place.

It called on the governor to wake up to his responsibilities and stop being what it described as “inactive and indifference” to what is happening in a state he ought to be governing.
The party further accused Gov Uzodinma of not being proactive in tackling killings and criminal activities in the state, saying his inaction has turned Imo State into a theatre of war, bloodshed and sorrow.
“Amid this destruction and bloodbath, what we could hear from Gov. Uzodimma and Imo APC are stories of how they are having their secret primary elections as regards to the local government elections.
“Curiously, the same Governor, in a leaked video wherein he was addressing his APC lackeys over the said primary election in a closed-door meeting, claimed to be knowledgeable about everything happening in all the LGAs of the state,” the party added.
The statement also noted that the governor “sits in an exalted position without doing anything and these attackers keep on snuffing lives out of innocent citizens.
“To them, governance does not matter, lives can be lost, Imo can burn, and people can die of hunger for all they care.”
