Nnewi South Local Government Area in Anambra State has been set on fire.
Although it is yet to be ascertained if anyone died or was injured, but is reported that the mishap was carried out by a gang of armed men on Thursday morning.
Anambra State Police Command says “It is a suspected case of arson”.
DSP Tochukwu Ikenga told reporters that the information “is still sketchy”.
