Rt Honourable Ibeh also consoled His Excellency Governor Hope Uzodinma, pointing out that as Governor Of the State, Ohaji/Egbema locality is part of Imo, and as such, the governor is in mourning mood, and deserves to be consoled over the unfortunate incident.

Nevertheless, the Rt Honourable Speaker cautioned against getting involved with illegal businesses including but not limited to oil and gas bunkering and the highly risky illegal refining of Petroleum products, pointing out that just as every proceed of crime, the gains are transient, with a bitter taste eventually, the pains usually far outweighing the gains.
