The persona Assistant who noted that the incident threw people in the area into panic as people scampered for their dear lives, said that the incident happened on July 26, 2019.
He said, “You will recollect that few days ago, members said to be from the Imo State recovery team went to her shop, looted things and said they were government property.
“And remember, that they went again to the former first lady’s shop and carted away some containers.
“These were gift items and souvenirs that the former first lady gives out to first ladies and dignitaries on her annual August meeting including items that were sold by her in her furniture shop.
“These things happening in Imo State is very serious. It will lead to a total breakdown of law and order in the state if care is not taken.
“We have reported to the police, even from the last incident and we don’t think any serious action has been taken so far.
“So we are calling on the authorities to do something about it before there is a breakdown of law and order.”
