As the celebration in Imo State over the killing of the notorious kidnap kingpin, Henry Chibueze alias Vampire by the Inspector General of Police Special Response Team (SRT) in the early hours of Wednesday in a forest in Rivers State, the Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has extolled the efforts of IGP, Mr.
Ibrahim Idris and the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu for the feat.
The governor also extended his commendation to the men and Officers of the Directorate of Security Services (DSS) who first arrested Vampire in Owerri which raised the consciousness of both the Security Agencies and the public about the existence of the hardened criminal.
He reiterated that the declaration he made when he became governor in 2011 that no criminal would survive in the State was still valid and that was the reason men like Vampire were arrested in Owerri.
He said even when his partners in crime took him away from the Court few weeks ago, he knew it would not be long and his ugly chapter would be closed.
On the reported threat against him and his family by Vampire over the N5m ransom he placed on his head, the governor said that such threat was an empty one because he knew that Vampire having stepped into Imo State to carry out criminal activities would soon become history and a bad one for that matter.
The governor once again reiterated that Imo State would remain no-go-area for criminals and that those who might succumb to the temptation of ignoring his warning would have themselves to blame at the end of the day.
