For years, the man described as the “deadliest criminal in Imo State” had tormented communities across Ihiala, Orsu, Arondizuogu, and Okigwe, leaving behind a trail of corpses, deserted villages, and broken families. That silence has fed a wave of doubt across Imo, stoking fears that the kingpin may still be at large. Gentle, a former lieutenant of slain ESN commander Nwokike Anyinayo Andy, alias Ikonso, emerged as his most notorious field commander. As a youth , I risked my life to oppose the political bandits in Imo state, as I still do till today. As it stands, Gentle is the deadliest criminal in Imo State.
