BREAKING: Gunmen behead Imo Lawmaker gateman, set house on fire

Unknown gunmen on Wednesday attacked the country home of the member representing Orsu State Constituency in the Imo State House of Assembly, Ekene Nnodumele, in Ebenato, Awo Idemili, beheading a gateman on duty and setting the house on fire.

It was gathered that the gunmen also razed the house of the immediate past Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Cyprain Charles Akaolisa, in the community.

Imo state has been experiencing series of attacks lately, especially on security formations.

On April 5, armed men invaded the headquarters of the Imo State Police Command and the Nigerian Correctional Service in Owerri, burnt the facilities and freed over 1,800 inmates.

Unfortunately, one person suspected to be a fleeing prison inmate was hit by a stray bullet.

A few days later, the country home of the state governor, Hope Uzodinma in Omuma, Oru East Local Government Area of the state was invaded by gunmen.

During the attack, they burnt part of the building and razed some vehicles in the compound, killing at least a security official.
