Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has vowed that the unknown gunmen who murdered security operatives in the Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday would be tracked and brought to book.<\/p>\n

The governor called on members of the community to remain calm, asking them not to be dismayed by the development.<\/p>\n

He wrote, \u201cI was saddened at the news of an ambush by armed men, which led to the death of some security personnel on duty at Umuezeala Owerre in Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have visited the scene of the crime; this barbaric act is unacceptable and I have directed a collaborative effort amongst the security units for justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, I assured our people not to exercise any fear of reprisal attack or hostility, even as I appeal for cooperation from the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cNdi Imo nwe\u2019m, let\u2019s not be dismayed by this, as it does not in any way unbalance our ongoing campaign against criminality and its associated vices in our dear State.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us rest assured that we will track those behind this heinous crime and bring them to book. Once more, I commiserated with the security agencies whose men were involved in the ugly incident\u201d.<\/p>\n
