Imo: Gunmen Raze House of Reps Member’s Country Home, Loot Property

By Charles Igbo

It was a black Thursday for a member of the Federal House of Representatives in Imo when gunmen visited him during an uncivilized time of the morning.

Hon. Canice Moore  Chukwugozie Nwachukwu is the Member representing Orlu, Orsu and Oru East Federal Constituency, Imo State.

Nwachukwu was lucky he was not home when the gunmen struck  at his Isioma, Abara Village, Amantor Okporo Community in Orlu Local Government Area, armed with explosives and dangerous weapons, according to reports and eye witnesses in the Village,

The gunmen rounded up domestic staff in the house, looted properties, before razing Nwachukwu’s country home down.

This is not the first time gunmen will set fire on the country home of prominent Imolites. The most shocking was the razing of the country home of former President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the now late Professor George Obiozor.

A renowned scholar, not a few people believe that the razing of Obiozor’s country home contributed to his exit from Mother Earth.
