Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) has linked the spate of attacks in the South-East to an alleged political conspiracy to demarket the region in the race for the number one elective office in the country.
In the past few months, the South East has recorded a series of security incidents, including attacks on several offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Also, in December, a female soldier, Lieutenant PP Johnson was abducted by gunmen suspected to be Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) members, while the Ebonyi State Police Command uncovered the “biggest bomb factory in the South-East” with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) recovered.
The presidential candidate of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Dan Nwanyanwu, who made a live appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, looked to the April 5, 2021 prison break at the Owerri Correctional Centre as a turning point in the security crisis.
