Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma has submitted that those who coordinated the recent attacks in his state want to use it to destabilize the government.

He claimed that their plan for launching the attack was to destabilize both his government and the Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari.

He however noted that he already has evidence on how hoodlums were paid to invade Imo State and those who paid them for the act, adding that some of those arrested in connection with the recent attacks have already confessed.

The Governor added that he is going to forward a report of his findings to the central government for further action.

It is not only on my government, it is both on my government and the Federal Government. We have credible evidence leading to those who paid the hoodlums, where they met, and how they met. Security agencies are already working with this information,

he said on Wednesday during a Channels Television interview.

Some people are trying to sponsor a synchronized national crisis to bring the government of Muhammadu Buhari to disrepute, otherwise tell me why these things are happening at this time, particularly in Imo, APC state.

People are sponsoring these people. Some of them already caught have made confessional statements. I am going to forward my report to the central government.
