A former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, escaped ill-fortune in an attack on his convoy on Friday.
Report confirmed by Okorocha himself, said the ex-governor had returned to Owerri from Enugu where he attended the burial ceremony of the mother of the immediate past governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha.
His convoy provided by Gov. Peter Mbah was heading back to Enugu when gunmen ambushed them at Ihube, along Okigwe-Enugu Expressway killing a police officer in the hideous attack with report rife that the attackers miscalculated, thinking Okorocha was in the convoy.
He also spoke on the attack on Sunday in an interview with newsmen, saying, “I am angry. I am very angry. I am angry because I spent two days in Enugu and nothing happened to me but it is in my own state that the convoy released to me by the governor of Enugu State (a very good man) to attend the burial ceremony of Ihedioha’s mother at Mbaise was attacked and one policeman killed.
“What is happening in Imo State makes me angry. Many people who are running to govern Imo State are not capable but I have seen one man who the cap fits. When it is time I will speak.”
