The Imo state government has compensated the families of the 12 Slain security officers serving in the state with the Sun of 185 million naira .
The governor made this announcement today as he addressed the families of the fallen heroes, offering his heartfelt condolences and support.
During the address, Governor Uzodimma emphasized the importance of honoring the sacrifices made by the security personnel who had laid down their lives in service to the state. He stated, "What we are doing here is our own sign of appreciating the national service that your husbands, wives, and relatives played to defend our state -
we are indeed very appreciative." His words reflect a deep sense of gratitude and respect for the dedication and sacrifice of these brave individuals and their families.
Governor Uzodimma's actions have further solidified his reputation as a charitable leader who not only talks the talk but also walks the talk. By allocating such a substantial amount for compensations, he has demonstrated a genuine commitment to supporting the families of fallen and wounded heroes in their time of need. His actions serve as an example of responsible and
compassionate governance, setting a high standard for leaders across the country.
It is important to note that the compensation package comes in the wake of a tragic incident that occurred in Imo State last September. Gunmen had attacked and killed eight security agents, including soldiers, policemen, airforce personnel, and members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in the Umualumaku community,
Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State. The governor's decision to offer substantial compensations to the families of these fallen heroes and the wounded individuals serves as a testament to his unwavering support for those who have dedicated their lives to protecting the state and its citizens.
This move by Governor Hope Uzodimma as a gesture of goodwill and generosity is a powerful symbol of the state's deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by these brave men and women, and it serves as a poignant reminder of the immeasurable debt owed to those who serve and protect the state with unwavering dedication and courage.
