The government of Imo State has reacted to the attack on the country home of Governor Hope Uzodinma, saying it may have been politically sponsored.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA reported that unknown gunmen attacked Uzodinma’s country home<\/a><\/strong> on Saturday, burning a part of the house and killing two security guards on duty.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the incident via a statement, the state commissioner for information and strategy, Declan Emelumba said\u00a0preliminary investigation suggests that the attack may have been politically sponsored.<\/p>\n

Emelumba said the attackers were 15 hoodlums<\/a> who arrived in three vehicles accompanied by a tipper loaded with tyres.<\/p>\n

He added that the government has ordered further investigation of the matter and the arrest of the assailants and sponsors.<\/p>\n

\u201cGallant security operatives this morning repelled an attack on the Omuma country home of the governor of Imo State, Sen Hope Uzodimma,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt about 9am today, Saturday, April 24th, a group of hoodlums numbering about 15 driving in a motorcade of three vehicles accompanied by a tipper loaded with used tyres, stormed the country home of the governor in Omuma, Oru East LGA and attempted to burn down the house.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, vigilant security operatives attached to the Governor\u2019s house successfully repelled the attack and consequently minimised the damage they had planned to unleash.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the crossfire that ensued a few casualties were recorded. Preliminary investigation suggests that the foiled attack may have been politically sponsored.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has directed the relevant security agencies to expedite investigation on the incident and promptly apprehend the sponsors and their agents and bring them to justice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
