BREAKING: Hoodlums burn don Rep Paschal Agbodike’s mansion in Anambra

A group of unidentified assailants has reportedly set ablaze the residence of Dr. Paschal Agbodike, a member representing Ihiala Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

The attack occurred in the early hours of the morning, at approximately 1 am, in Ubahi-Mbosi located in Ihiala Local Government Area. Dr. Agbodike, a former deputy speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, confirmed the incident, which left his fully-furnished five-bedroom duplex with four living rooms and a kitchen completely destroyed by fire.

The assailants are said to have arrived at the scene armed, and after firing gunshots sporadically, they proceeded to set the house on fire. Despite the severity of the attack, no casualties were reported. Dr. Agbodike was not present at the scene during the attack, as he was carrying out legislative duties in Abuja at the time.

Dr. Agbodike has yet to make public any suspicions about the perpetrators’ identities or motivations, whether political or otherwise. He affirmed that he learned about the attack through a phone call. The incident has caught the attention of local and national security authorities, with surveillance and security measures being deployed to assess the situation and prevent further incidents.
