The Commissioner of Police, CP Rabiu Hussain has ordered a thorough investigation over the razing of the country home of the President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Prof George Obiozor, at Awo-Omanma in the Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Micheal Abattam who confirmed the incident to Daily Post on phone said the incident is under serious investigation. He said, the Command received the news of the unfortunate incident and that the Imo State Police Commissioner, CP has ordered a full-scale investigation on it and we are on their trail. The police spokesman assured that the police would fish out those who carried out the arson.
Daily Post gathered that the attack took place at about 12.30 am on Saturday morning, after the gunmen chased away a security guard on duty in the compound. A community source who pleaded anonymity said before now the entire Ubachima community in Awo- Omanma has been on the run.
The source who accused members of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) of the attack said all top politicians in support of Gov Hope Uzodinma’s government no longer visit home. He said unknown gunmen razed down our brother’s house around 12:30am. The community source said to God be the glory no life was lost even the security guard on duty was chased away before the operation.
However, all efforts made to reach Prof Obiozor on phone proved abortive as he did not respond to calls and messages seeking clarification over the incident.
