OWERRI – Elder sister of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, her family and police escort narrowly escaped death weekend as armed robbers opened fire on the vehicle in which they were travelling at Egbeada, Mbaitoli local government area of the state.


It was gathered that the woman and her household were in a convoy of three vehicles when the hoodlums struck.

A close family source told Vangauard that the three vehicles were riddled with bullets but that none of the occupants sustained any injury during the attack.

Consequently, the family home of Okorocha's elder sister had been a Mecca of sort, as political office holders, friends, relations and other concerned citizens continued going to sympathize with the family.

Vanguard recalls that Imo State has been under serious siege while several people, including traditional rulers, business men, politicians, public office holders had at various times and places been kidnapped for ransom.

While some captives survived to narrate their sordid ordeal in the hands of their captors, some others did not and the consensus opinion among Imo people is that "these serious crimes are attaining a feverish pitch".
