Rep seeks FG intervention in tackling insecurity in Imo communities

The deputy spokesman of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, has called on the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency, help tackle insecurity bedevilling the Ideato North/South Federal Constituency in Imo State.

Agbese made the call in a statement on Tuesday in reaction to an alarm raised by Ikenga Ugochinyere, representing Ideato North/South Federal Constituency.

Ugochinyere had made a video where he lamented the deplorable condition of the people of his constituency, stating that there was hardly any presence of government noticeable.

According to him, Ideato had been plagued by many issues in recent times; from insecurity to under-development among others.

He said, “My attention has been drawn to the plight of the good people of Ideato North/South Federal Constituency by my friend and brother, Hon. Ugochinyere.

“The current situation in Ideato is pathetic and worrisome, to say the least. Insecurity is the order of the day. There is no sign of government presence there.

“I want to use this medium to call on the Federal Government to pay attention to the cry of these people. As a listening father, I know President Bola Tinubu will act but we want it done swiftly.”
