Former Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, has described the bombing of his private residence in Owerri, the state capital, by some suspected bombers on Thursday, as unfortunate.
Ohakim also advised politicians in Imo State not to resort to violence in playing the game of politics, urging further that the polity should not be overheated.
“My advise to politicians is that we should not introduce a culture that is alien to the people of the state. We are known to talk and talk, not to burn and burn. We have tried as much as possible to bring down the temperature of politics here (Imo State). Nobody should overheat the system,” the former governor said in Owerri on Friday while reacting to the incident.
His wife, on her part, expressed gratitude to God for not allowing intentions of the alleged bomber to come into reality.
She narrated that, “at about 12:30 am, we got a distress call from the head of security men here that they heard an explosion. The men said they saw thick smoke and fire. The fire service was called as we battled to put out the fire. Thank God no live was lost”
The fire, according to findings by Aproko247, affected the sitting, the dinning and rooms in the private house of Ohakim.
