Following the recent explosion at an illegal refinery at Abaezi Forest, in the Ohaji-Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State, former Inspector-General

of Police and former Police Service Commission chairman, Mike Okiro, has said his ethnic nationality, Egbema, is being marginalized and relegated in the scheme of things.

He explained that Egbema people are basically agrarians and fishermen but today their rivers and farmlands are polluted so the youths find nothing to do. “The 16 towns in Egbema are all affected. We lost 109 people here. There is no family or community in Egbema that’s not affected. we are not talking about people from other communities that are not accounted for because we did a roll call to arrive at the figure.
