Imo government denies reports over alleged Miyetti Allah vigilante operation

Imo State Government has denied reports that Miyetti Allah vigilantes have arrived in the state to help security agencies fight crime.

The Commissioner for Information, Declan Emelumba, who described the report as a fabricated story, said at no time did the state government give any approval to the vigilante to operate in the state.

Emelumba said the aim of the story, which is authored by desperate opposition, was to cause ethnic tension in the state.

The Commissioner further disclosed that the government will not hesitate to intimate the public of any security arrangements it is making.
