Thugs flog protesting Imo pensioners, leader flees

This is the fifth time in less than a month the senior citizens will protest against their non-payment of pensions and gratuities by the Governor Hope Uzodinma administration.

The retiree said no amount of intimidation by the state government would stop them from demanding that their pensions and gratuities be paid to them. However, it was gathered that two factions of protesters clashed some metres away from the Government House, where the protest was to hold. One of them, who introduced himself as Chief Amadi, said, “We were given text messages by Ohanaje to come out today for a meeting, but I am surprised he is nowhere to be found and now, we are asked to go on protest.”

Meanwhile, leader of one of the factions, Ohaneje, is said to be on the run as a result of his text message written to incite members to embark on the protest.
