Gunmen have reportedly burnt down the houses of some prominent politicians and community leaders in Anambra state.
Metronetworknews gathered that the hoodlums set ablaze the houses of the deputy speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Dr. Paschal Agbodike at Orsumoghu in Ihiala local government area of Anambra State.
Agbodike represents Ihiala 11 constituency and the House of Representatives candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, for the 2023 election.
Also destroyed by them were houses of the President General of the community, Nze Denis Muomaife, that of the traditional prime minister, as well as that of the traditional rulers of the town.
It was also gathered that the gunmen have been threatening leaders in the community who they accused of being responsible for the presence of soldiers that had routed them from their hideouts in the bushes in the area.
Orsumoghu in Anambra South senatorial zone is one of the flashpoints where gunmen had held sway for the past one year such that motorists have since abandoned the popular AwkaEtiti- Ukpor- Orsumoghu- Isekke road that leads to Imo State and other states in the South-South.
