By our reporter| Aguata local government headquarters in Anambra was on Thursday attacked and set ablaze by suspected IPOB militants.
Aguata is the LGA of the state governor Chukwuma Soludo.
Security officials and men of the fire service battled to put the situation under control.
Thursday’s incident is the latest in the long list of gunmen attacks on government and security facilities in the southeast and Anambra state in particular.
Many government and security facilities have been destroyed in the region. Several security officials have also died due to the incessant attacks.
Governor Soludo, earlier in the week, as part of moves to end the assaults, instituted a Truth and Reconciliation Committee.
He also declared an end to the Monday sit-at-home which was declared following the arrest of the leader of the outlawed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
“Following the unanimous agreement of our leaders across board, and the endorsement of the entire body of Christ, I am pleased to inform our people that today, Monday, April 4, 2022, marks the official end to the ‘Monday sit-at-home in Anambra State,” the governor tweeted on his official handle.
The governor, who restated his government’s resolve to make the southeast state peaceful, also offered “amnesty to all our brothers in the various forests around us. Give us your guns, and trust us to help you forge a meaningful living”.
