The Imo State Government has issued a statement denying the alleged abduction of the First Lady and wife of the State Governor, Chioma Uzodinma.
In an interview with Punch, The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, described as false and baseless the reported abduction of Mrs Uzodinma.
The Commissioner said that the sponsors of the rumour are wicked and devil’s agent insisting that the rumour mongers are the ones wishing the state bad.
According to Emelumba, “There is no truth in that. Those who are behind the rumour are wicked and are devil’s agents. They are the ones wishing the state bad.
In another development, some unknown gunmen went on rampage on Sunday, attacking and burning down the police station and the Department of State Services offices in Nnewi, Anambra State.
