Uzodinma spoke on Wednesday while featuring on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme monitored by Truetells Nigeria ..

Recall that gunmen on Monday attacked the Owerri Correctional Prison and freed over 1800 inmates. The attackers also razed the Imo State Police Command headquarters situated in Owerri and burnt all the vehicles parked at the command headquarters.

The hoodlums further freed the suspects in the cells at the State Criminal Investigation Department of the command and made an attempt to loot the police armoury in the state.

This online news platform gathered that the gunmen operated from 1am till 3am on Monday and sang solidarity songs at the Government House Roundabout for about 30 minutes before attacking the facilities.

The police have since accused members of the Eastern Security Network, the security arm of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, of being the masterminds of the attacks but the secessionist agitators led by Nnamdi Kanu have since denied the allegation.

But speaking on the television programme, Uzodinma discredited the claim that IPOB members perpetrated the heinous acts.

He said, “Their (attackers’) tactics is that they try to identify grievances of people in a particular area. If it is in Imo State and probably there are some IPOB people who are not happy, they hire hoodlums from outside Imo State, they bring them in pretending to be IPOB and they commit these crimes and they go away.
