I have received several calls from well meaning Imolites on the plot by Imo Govt to arrest me over the attack on the NOUN study Center in Nsu Ehime Mbano & the residence of the Former Senator of Okigwe Zone, Sen Frank Ibezim.

Information gathered was that those plotting to arrest me are seriously trying to push the narrative that it was Nonsonkwa who incited the arson,therfore must go in for it.

This narrative is like trying to kill a dog by giving it a bad name.

These plotters are not even talking about the TVC news report that supposedly caused the upset but are only interested in calling for Nonsonkwa’s head because to them he is an enemy of the government that must be wasted.

The two videos I made were analytical and reportative,totally reactionary.

If there were no TVC news report on IDP Training Camp In Imo,there won’t be a Nonsonkwa talking about it.

The first video I made was an analysis of the TVC News. I did what every other Patriotic Imolite could do by alerting our people on the said project.

I did so because, throughout the TVC News report, no where was it mentioned that the IDPs to be trained in that Center would come from Orsu, Orlu, Izombe, Agwa, Okigwe or even Akabo where we have Displaced Persons whose houses were burnt down between 2020 to 2024.

Again, the video used by the TVC news reporter wasn’t the video of stranded Imo women and children but that of northern women and children.

This was the height of conflict as no one who saw the said news report won’t believe it wasn’t for the Northern IDPs.
Giving the volatile nature of Imo state and the daily report of fulani herdsmen abducting Imolites around FUTO, Ihiagwa,Nekede,Obinze, Avu, Oforola, Eziobodo and other vulnerable places in Owerri West LGA of Imo state, Imo people are apprehensive of such move to Camp IDPs in Ehime Mbano of the state.

If the TVC News caster or the Reporter had specially mentioned Imo IDPs,Imo people won’t be on edge about anything.

The only person to blame remains the TVC News Reporter.

Another significant lapse to the entire story was the absence of Imo government officials during the inspection of the Centre. Throughout the TVC news report, no Imo government official was interviewed to give ndi Imo that feeling that the training centre is for Ndi Imo.

In information dissemination, the state Information commissioner would have before the inspection of that facility, issued a press release alerting Ndi Imo of such project, outlining the advantages of such Center to Ndi Imo and Nigeria in general. But nothing like that was done.

In an issue as sensitive as an IDP Training Camp, it is expected that the host community should be put on the know so as to make the people coming for the training more accommodated and accepted by the host community. But nothing like that was done.

Unfortunately, Nonsonkwa is their fall guy for analysing the situation for Ndi Imo.

At no point in my First video,did I incite violence nor destruction. I called for caution which is not illegal.

My second video was the explanation of the press release from Sen Frank Ibezim which I posted on social media too.

In his press release,he acknowledged that the video used bythe TVC news reporter wasn’t filmed in Imo, part of the press release ran thus and I qoute:

“First, I must clarify that the video of refugees attached to the TVC broadcast, which has caused understandable anxiety, was not filmed in Imo State..” End of quote.

Even the Senator understood that the video is the main reason for the anxiety in the land.

It is therefore, unbelievable that someone would want to arrest or harm Nonsonkwa because of a TVC News Report?

Nonsonkwa is not afraid of arrest or being invited for questioning but won’t be intimidated for speaking out .

I totally condemn the attack on government property built by tax payers money or property belonging to individuals, and I urge the security agencies to fish out the arsonists.

I can never be part of destroying government properties rather our job is to make sure government properties are protected at all times.

This is my stand!
