Some gunmen have razed down the palace of the Traditional Ruler of Isseke Community in Ihiala local government area of Anambra state, Igwe Emmanuel Nnabuife.
Confirming the arson at his palace, Igwe Nnabuife said he had no problem with anyone in his community prior to the incident. He said;
“It is true that my palace was burnt down by these boys and I have lost everything that I laboured all my life to achieve and as it is now I am homeless.
“Everything was razed down but I thank God that no life was lost and nobody was harmed by those boys and this is the way it is in my town Isseke.”
Anambra police spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga who also confirmed the incident, said it is being investigated. He said;
“The Command has since commenced investigation on the case of arson that took place at Igwe Isseke’s Palace. We are already talking with some eyewitnesses in the area where the incident took place.
“For now, no report of life was lost and the value of properties destroyed is yet to be ascertained. I don’t have any report about any abduction, I will make an inquiry and get back to you, please.”
