The country home of the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor, has been set ablaze by gunmen at Awo-Omanma, in the Oru-East local government area of Imo State.
The attackers, who reportedly arrived at the Igbo leader’s home in vehicles threw explosive devices at the house yesterday morning. It was learnt that Obiozor was not at home when his house was attacked.
The same night the gunmen reportedly bombed the Umuguma Divisional Police Headquarters in the Owerri-West LGA of the State, killed two police constabularies and several cars burnt.
According to a source who spoke to newsmen, “The country home of Prof. Obiozor was burnt. The CCTV cameras captured the attack. Thank God, the Prof. was not at home when they came”.
Obiozor had yet to respond to an inquiry concerning the attack, but one of the leaders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, who prefers anonymity, said that he had called Obiozor to commiserate with him on the incident. He called on the Police to fish out those who carried out this arson.
The State’s Police Command spokesperson, Michael Abattam, had yet to respond to an inquiry concerning the attack on the chieftain’s country home.
