Eko Hot Blog reports that the attacks and burning of Ezza North LGA occurred just one month after the state’s new council chairman was sworn in.
Recall that Ogodo Ali Nomeh, the new chairman, took over from Nora Alo, the previous chairman of Ezza North LGA.
According to reports, the criminals entered some of the offices where crucial documents were kept, took them, and then lit some of them on fire.
The attack was confirmed by the new council chairman, Mr. Ogodo Ali Nomeh, who said that a gunfight broke out between the criminals and the security guards manning the council and that some of the criminals were shot.
At the time this report was filed, he said that the thugs had not yet been taken into custody.
According to him: “we have not arrested anybody now. You know the thing happened in the night and before we came out this morning, they already escaped.
“There were so much gunshots. And I think that so many of them were injured. So, we are moving from one hospital to another to check for people that sustained gunshot injuries.
“We are not suspecting anybody for now, until we apprehend the suspects. You know the thing happened around 2;00am in the morning.
“We are talking with security operatives that had an encounter with the hoodlums,” he stressed.
