After news broke that gunmen attacked Abia State Governor Alex Otti’s convoy in Imo State, emotions ran high and people online rushed to give their own interpretations of the incident. Instead of waiting for verified details or acknowledging the seriousness of an attack on a sitting governor, some users used the moment to push political narratives.
One controversial comment stated: “Hope Uzodinma in action.”
This suggests—without evidence—that the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, was somehow behind the attack. Statements like this are dangerous because they turn a security issue into a political witch-hunt. They spread fear, deepen mistrust, and can escalate tensions between states, political parties, and communities. When serious incidents occur, the focus should be on facts and accountability—not unverified accusations that inflame the public.
