Imo PDP moves to petition Uzodimma on insecirty at ICC
May 28, 2023 8:45 PMThe Peoples Democratic Party in Imo state says there are necessary documents of human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings to file a petition against Hope Uzodimma, governor of the state, at the International Criminal Court .
He said a good number of residents have become victims of forced disappearance while many more have fled the state for fear of being profiled and killed. “The largest senatorial district in the state, which is the Orlu zone, has been abandoned due to insecurity, economic activities crippled and over a million residents displaced. Okigwe zone has also become a war front. Parts of Owerri zone are fast becoming engulfed in this fire of insecurity. If we do not act now, every Imo citizen may soon become a refugee in other parts of the country.
“Similarly, more than 300 Imo residents have been victims of forced disappearance, while over 500 young men in the state have fled for fear of being profiled and killed. Political opponents have been targeted for elimination. This is horrible.
