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 arrived at the Igbo leader’s home in vehicles threw explosive devices at the house on Saturday morning.
It was learnt that Obiozor was not at home when his house was attacked.
WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that gunmen the same night bombed the Umuguma Divisional Police Headquarters in the Owerri West LGA of the state, killed two police constabularies and cars burnt.
According to PUNCH, a source said, “The country home of Prof George Obiozor was burnt. The CCTV cameras captured the attack. Thank God 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 police spokesperson, Michael Abattam, had yet to respond to an inquiry concerning the attack on Obiozor’s country home.
