Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has commended the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Ibrahim Idris, over the active role He played by initiatively dispatching the special squad that worked with officers and men of the Imo Police Command that finally brought to an abrupt end the reign of the notorious kidnapper in the South, Mr. Henry Chibueze, otherwise known as Vampire.
This was contained in a statement signed by Okoochas` Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, the Governor said the extermination of Vampire’s life is a milestone on the capability of the police.
The Governor also praised officials of the Directorate of Security Services (DSS), who had arrested Vampire in Owerri in 2015, creating the consciousness on the roles of all.
On the reported threat against him and his family by Vampire over the N5m ransom he placed on his head, the governor said that such threat was an empty one, because he knew that Vampire, having stepped into Imo State to carry out criminal activities, would soon become history and a bad one for that matter.
Okorocha expressed optimism that with the development, Imo was safe for living. Crack squad from the IGP killed Vampire after several hours of gun battle in a forest in Ikwerre, Rivers State on Thursday.
