Abiodun OBA

 

The country home of the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof George Obiozor, at Awo-Omanma in the Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State has been razed down.

The attackers it was gathered, arrived at the Igbo leader’s home in vehicles and threw explosive devices at the house.

It was learnt that Obiozor was not at home when his house was attacked.

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 police spokesperson in the state, Micheal Abattam, had yet to respond to an inquiry concerning the attack on Obiozor’s country home.

The attack on Obiozor’s country home came the same night the Umuguma Divisional Police Headquarters in the Owerri West LGA of the state was burnt with two police constabularies killed and cars burnt.

Meanwhile, Senator Hope Uzodinma, the state governor, in a statement described the attack as cowardly and a height of desperation.

Uzodinma vowed that the government was already working in concert with security agencies to identify and punish the perpetrators.

He bemoaned the incessant violent approach in settling political differences by some politicians in the state and warned that the government would no longer condone such banditry.

According to him, “the time of those who unleash this kind of mayhem in the state is over. We shall hunt them down to face the full weight of the law”.

Uzodinma wondered why the bandits should attack the home of a man who is not a politician but a statesman working for the good of the entire Igbo race.

He said it was shameful that both the sponsors and perpetrators of the violence deployed their malicious attack on an innocent man.

While commiserating with Prof Obiozor on the burning of his home, he assured Imo people that Government will continue to do all within its constitutional power to protect lives and property in the state.
