Unknown gunmen suspected to be members of the Indeginous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) have set the Atta Divisional Police Headquarters in the Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State ablaze.
The hoodlums equally razed the Atta Magistrate and High Court and vandalised the community’s health Center.
Our correspondent gathered that the incident took place between 1 am and 2 am on Saturday.
Sources in the community told our correspondent that the invaders shot sporadically for an hour before torching the facilities.
The crown Prince of the community, Remigiius Azike, said the incident took place when the villagers had gone to bed.
A former President-General of the community, John Agbaso, told our correspondent that the community is pained, especially coming just a week after the wife of the President-General of the community, Chijioke Duruonyeokwu, was killed and his house burnt by unknown people.
IPOB had given a sit-at-home order on Saturday which has kept residents of Imo State indoors.
