Imo Attacks Political, Ex-DSS Director Ejiofor Wants Sponsors Revealed

A former Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), Mike Ejiofor, on Tuesday, said the attacks on offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Imo State were politically motivated.

Gunmen had attacked the INEC facility on Monday killing four persons, including a police officer. The attack was greeted with fear among residents of the state with many worried that the 2023 general elections might be disrupted.

Speaking as a guest on a Television program a day after the attack, Ejiofor commended the Imo State Police Command for arresting two suspects alive.

He charged the police authorities to thoroughly grill the suspects with a view to ascertain their sponsors behind the attack.
