Uduma further noted that the court building and other valuable properties as well as documents were totally burnt.

She further revealed that the youths of Owutu Edda community alongside security operatives were mobilized but were unable to apprehend any of them.

It was gathered that the setting ablaze of the said state High Court at Owutu Edda community in Afikpo South LGA, was allegedly perpetrated by youths who are seriously aggrieved on the conduct of the governorship and House of Assembly elections that took place at the area.

The Chairman of Afikpo South Local Government Area, Mr. Chima Ekuma Nkama, who confirmed the incident, said that the court was burnt beyond repair.

According to him: “It is very unfortunate that the hoodlums launched an attack on the High Court at Owutu Edda community.

“When we went there, the whole place was on fire. We have reported the matter, even the governor, the commissioner of police are all aware.
