Atiku Abubakar, a presidential hopeful, has described the attack on the county house of Ohanaeze Ndigbo President-General George Obizor as “daring and obnoxious.”
On Saturday, unknown gunmen set fire to the residence of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo chieftain in Awo-Omanma, Oru East Local Government Area of the state, InsightnaijaTV reports
Explosives Ordinance Disposals were used by gunmen who arrived in vehicles at the home of the former Nigerian Ambassador to the United States.
When the shooters stormed his property, the former ambassador was not at home.
Abubakar decried the attack on the Ohanaeze Ndigbo leader’s mansion in Imo in a statement released by his Media Office on Monday, emphasizing that the incident was unforgivable.
The leader of the People Democratic Party (PDP) offered his condolences to the pan-Igbo socio-cultural group’s president-general and his family following the attack.
The new attack, according to Abubakar, emphasizes the need to beef up security across the country and ensure that Nigerians are secure from incendiary attacks.
The former vice president, on the other hand, asked relevant security services to apprehend and prosecute the attackers.
Meanwhile, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned the attack on the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s mansion as cruel and despicable conduct.
The heinous crime had nothing to do with IPOB, ESN, or the Biafra agitation, according to a statement made by the group on Monday.
Professor Obiozor is not an adversary of IPOB or the Biafra cause, according to the group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful.
While denouncing the assault, IPOB also stated that the Ohanaeze leader had done nothing to merit such a vicious attack.
