Police report

According to the spokesman of the Enugu state Police Force,Ebere Amaraizu, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was thrown into Nwodo’s compound.

He said “The State Commissioner of Police immediately raced to the scene of the incident on getting the report; and while there Mr Nwodo, who was not around when the explosion happened, also came in.

“The command is on top of the situation and very soon the perpetrators will be arrested as we have commenced investigation into the incident.”

MASSOB vows to beef up security

MASSOB also vowed to mobilise its members to beef up security in the South-Eastern region.

The group said “It is regrettable that the house of the president general of Ohaneze Ndigbo was bombed by enemies of Ndigbo who hate peaceful atmosphere but delight in evil.

“MASSOB assures that whoever is responsible for the operation must never go unpunished. We shall intensify our security efforts, vigilance and grassroots reawakening of security consciousness in Igbo land against our common enemies.
