Gung-ho gunmen on Tuesday razed the country home of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Imo State House of Assembly, Ifeanyi Ozoemena and that of his father in Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo state.
Ozoemena confirmed the arson to journalists in Owerri Wednesday, saying: “My house and that of my father at Umuokparaoha village in Umulolo community in the Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State were razed on Tuesday”.
He said that the gunmen had struck around 2 pm, set the houses on fire and supervised the burning without interference.
“I am distraught. This is unfortunate”, he told journalists.
The distraught politician said that he had already called on the commissioner of police to intervene.
Thanking God that no life was lost during the mayhem, he confirmed that his aged parents were not around when the gunmen struck. The gunmen were said to have used explosives to torch and destroy the houses and other property on the premises.
