Some gunmen have razed the country home of the Imo State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Cyprian Akaolisa.

The assailants also burnt the residence of the father of the state justice commissioner located in the Orsu Local Government Area of the state.

In June 2021, Akaolisa’s country home was also attacked and burnt by some unknown gunmen.


The residence of the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, was also attacked last year.


In a statement on Sunday, Akaolisa confirmed the attacks, saying, “The Igbos are hard-working people who through their years of toils put up structures and leave developmental strides in their communities of Origin maka ‘akụ ruo ụlọ, a mara onye nwe ya’.

“Through my many years of struggle, I have managed to put a block on another to build a befitting house for my family. My aged father also has a house he built through his sweats.

“Today, both buildings are in rubbles and ashes – our fellow Igbos burnt them. Firstly, last year, these arsonists burnt my country home in Obibi, Awo-Idemili, Orsu LGA of Imo State for no just cause.

“This year again, they returned and this time, they perfected the complete burning of even the blocks/bricks.

“And last night, to my utter consternation, they levelled my father’s house. This is a house my father built by himself – the life-toil of an aged man.

“In other words, I wish to put on record that my family house is completely destroyed. This was after they used a truck to cart all the properties: fridges TVs, bed/foams, generator sets and other household materials.

“What are my crimes, who did I offend? And what were my father’s offences? And I dare ask, where is the Igbo spirit? This is a direct affront to the akụ ruo ụlọ spirit. Who will invest in Ala Igbo nay Orsu LGA today under this type of atmosphere?

“The above are acts of arson ongoing in my LGA of Orsu. The complete burning of our LGA Secretariat, the house of my colleague – Chief Prince Ford Ozumba, the Hon Commissioner, Imo State Ministry of Labour, Employment and Productivity, the house of Hon. Ekene Nnodumele, the member representing Orsu State Constituency in the Imo State House of Assembly. There are also houses of other political leaders which have been razed in my area so far.

“Other ungodly acts are the sacking and carting away of all the Police presence & armouries in Orsu LGA, the kidnapping and killing of well-to-do individuals and security operatives. This attendant scare has become a daily phenomenon in my Local Government Area.

“Today, these gunmen (Codenamed Ụmụ Ọma, under the guise of freedom fighters) have continued to demand huge sums of money from mourning families who wish to bury their loved ones and the likes. It is now strictly business! These gunmen have almost made a god of themselves, killing and cannibalising at will, in my area but believe me, they will not succeed with our voices up and collaborative efforts.

“Where is the Igbo spirit, ụmụnne m? It is unfortunate that the majority of those who foment these troubles are not indigenous to Orsu but have garnered collaborators and enablers among the locals either through fear, persuasion, financial inducements and made to swear to devilish oaths of secrecy.

“It is time to synergize and put an end to the siege in Orsu LGA and liberate our people who are worse hit by the economic downturn occasioned by the ravaging insecurity. For the enablers and cheerers, It is time for the needed retrospect, soul-searching to interrogate the process so far by weighing the gains and losses.”

Throwback:


Maybe he meant DSS employees who are Igbo?




A certain narcissistic mad man once promised to make Nigeria worse than Somalia. He also reminded his zombified disciples to burn down the zoo if they hear that he has been re-arrested due to his ongoing trial.

Now just a few years later, his region is competing with Somalia as a failed society without order and ridden with all manner of crime, while same region has become the zoo that is being burnt by those he put under oath.

All who were parroting his propaganda and threats are now begging Nigeria and Buhari to rescue them from a self-inflicted terrorism.

They have now become the "Unity Beggers" knowing that they are disposable victims to satisfy a mad man's desire to command loyalty and criminally usurp power that he is not willing to pursue democratically.

Dear people, you would have observed that the reactions of majority of ibos towards Ipob terrorism in Anambra is quite different from that of other South east states. It is more or less like a paradox of a passionate cry to save Anambra while the ibo nation burns.
It seems the lives of Ibos in Anambra are more precious than the lives of ibos from other SE states. It seems the loyalty to Soludo is total than to the ibo nation at large.
It's very hypocritical that Obiano hardly enjoyed a fraction of support as Soludo's as he suffered great humiliation till the end of his tenure despite a number of infrastructural legacy.
I never saw the unity of purpose in voicing out against Ipob's shenanigans as it is in recent weeks. It was as though Ndigbo were waiting for Soludo before they would summon the courage to denounce Ipob organization which they all once cherished and adored.
Even at that, majority couldn't care less if Ibos of Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo and Abia, are a victim of the terror of Igbos activities as far as Igbos stay farther away from Anambra.

DSS as usual according to IPOB non terrorists

MadamExcellency:
Is it not your principal, Governor Hope Uzodinma that has been encouraging Soldiers to be burning down civilian houses in Imo State at any slightest provocation that has nothing to do with the people even when the soldiers are at fault?

All these would've been avoided if Governor Hope Uzodinma didn't militarise his dislike for Biafra separatists who threatened to stop Fulani herders criminality against farmers.

All these started when Governor Hope Uzodinma chose to side with Fulani Herdsmen over his people leading to the establishment of ESN.

To counter ESN, Governor Hope Uzodinma quickly introduced Ebubeagu confraternity with other Southeast Governors to fight ESN in other to prove their loyalty to Abuja.

Governor Hope Uzodinma invited Ikonso to come and Head Ebubeagu confraternity but he refused and he masterminded Ikonso's assassination. This has led to a full-blown war between the Imo State government and the unknown gunmen.

Until this one's head is torn open like Dr Akunyili, before some little sense will enter.

What good exactly has Kanu's Biafra adventure brought to the people of South East? Sorrow, tears, blood, that's all he had achieved for them. As though that is not enough, thy still go ahead to collect huge monies from the bereaved to be allowed to bury their dead! Then in court, he takes a picture with a foot up, laughing hysterically, perhaps in amusement over the pains the people of the East are going through in the hand of his desciples.

I know what it takes to build a house and I can only imagine what it feels like losing same.

I pray the East eventually finds peace and return to the path of progress soon. I'm sure everyone is sick and tired of this wanton destruction of lives and properties.
