The governor of Imo State, Governor Ikedi ohakim said. In his words: "I want to assure you that in no distant time, that the militants that have come in and do kidnapping assisted by some disgruntled youth, we are set for them. Because it is a technology-driven crime, we are beginning to find a technology-driven solution and very soon kidnapping will be a thing of the past."
However, he blamed kidnapping in the area on the ostentatious living of Igbo elite, especially in the face of grinding poverty.
Ohakim said the money most persons used in buying exotic cars and building mansions, which they did not live in, was enough to provide jobs for the teeming unemployed youths. "In Imo State, we have three senatorial zones. There are nine persons riding Rolls Royce in each of the senatorial zones. We have 27 Rolls Royce. Each Rolls Royce costs 700,000 dollars, multiply it by 27, it would give job to at least 3000 graduates and about 5000 non-graduates. We have in Imo State, 250,000 buildings that cost nothing less than N500,000. So, it is in Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra and Abia.
