Some dare-devil gunmen struck on Monday night, setting ablaze the country home of Senator Frank Ibezim on fire.

Also set ablaze by the assailants is the National Open University of Nigeria Study centre in Nsu in Ehime Mbano.

Ibezim who is the immediate past senator for Imo North (Okigwe zone) hails from Nsu in the Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo state. A video clip circulating showed Ibezim's house gutted in fire with a voice in the background lamenting the level of destruction.

The spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, confirmed the attack. He said, "A few moments Later; attack on National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN) At Ezeoke, Nsu Study Centre Facility. Let’s Refrain From Making Inciting Statement.”

The former lawmaker was recently accused of attracting a refugees and Internally Displaced Persons Camp for Fulani at the National Open University campus in Nsu in the Ehime Mbano LGA, a claim he had publicly denied.

Ibezim in a statement he personally issued had said, "I am compelled by our joint sense of purpose and commitment to address some misinformation arising from the TVC news coverage of my recent visit to the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Nsu Study Centre.

"I was accompanied by the Federal Commissioner for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons, and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.

"First, I must clarify that the video of refugees attached to the TVC broadcast, which has caused understandable anxiety, was not filmed in Imo State. The insinuation that there is intent to settle IDPs, refugees, or migrant persons at the NOUN Nsu Centre is entirely false.

"As a responsible stakeholder, when I see an opportunity for our community, I must act. Obviously, there are mischief-makers who aim to distort my genuine intentions. So, for the purpose of clarity, let me set the record straight as follows: "NOUN Nsu is a federal, multi-disciplinary educational institution, open to qualified applicants from across Nigeria and beyond, just like all other federal institutions in the country.

"The facilities at NOUN Nsu are already in use, with over 200 students enrolled since its commencement in October 2023, and further intake is ongoing.
"Our visit was for two federal agencies to assess these facilities to determine if they could be used for training in specialized skills, following our request to utilize the already built incubation center.

"This is the third agency of government (Michael Okpara University and the Biotechnology Agency, prior), to undertake this assessment and adaptability visit for the purpose of evaluating the facilities for training.

"We believe that if the training facilities meet their requirements, we would be pleased to have these agencies collaborate with NOUN Nsu to train qualifying candidates. "While it is understandable that the visiting agency’s name includes "refugees," this does not encompass their full mandate. They also work to equip communities with necessary skills through integrative programs.

"The agency is not seeking to resettle or relocate any refugees. They aim to use the existing facilities to train eligible individuals from time to time.

"As I stated in the NTA News coverage, it is crucial for the government to focus on utilizing existing government infrastructure completed in the last administration instead of constructing new ones, especially in the face of scarce resources and the hardships faced by our citizens. "For emphasis, I must restate that there are no plans to settle IDPs, Refugees or Migrant persons at the National Open University Centre, Nsu, Ehime Mbano LGA. Any such claim is categorically false. I will never be part of such a plan. The plan is for skills training for our vulnerable young people from the South East.

"In conclusion, as I have always said, all well-meaning citizens should put hands on deck in the efforts to synergise with the government to facilitate human development, progress and opportunities for our teeming youth population and the less privileged."

Only one Nigeria when it's outside their region.. even if the news were true, the constitution allows Nigerians to live anywhere they like.

However, they burnt down a university meant to train their own ibo youth over rumours and unverified information.

Nzogbu nzogbu on steroids.

No smoke without fire.

I wonder where they keep their sense in that part of Nigeria

Everything to them is violence, burn down,kill, destroy n co

N they want other regions to copy this absurd way of life

Toh

This is tribalism at it's peak.

If it was the other way around, you would hear "do not invest in Imo".

These ones dey burn down their own region to show their vexation

Properties to show their disapproval of something

As soon as you pass the Niger bridge, you don go back to 1950 be that....everyone around that side still live in ancient times

Coming from someone that is seeking refuge in Anambra.

Babablu bulabu.

Will u blame them after the treatment the nigerian state unleashed on them unjustly? That's simply why they suspect every move from the federal govt most of these youths doing this has either lost relatives or friends to the nigerian security agents or to fulaniherdsmen.

if they sense d presence of fulanis around their house they should burn their own house now

Let's see who will lose

They said I should come and invest in south east. Ok, no problem; remind me after I see clearance/certificate of credence that ipob are no longer existing in south east. For now, I can't come and waste my money. Ipob can just wake up at anytime to destroy your properties. NOUN should move study center out of that trouble zones, they don't need it. That is their own way of saying "western education is forbidden"; they are the same with bokoharam

Let them go and do their skill acquisition training in Sokoto, Katsina and Jigawa. We won't tolerate any disguised ruga in Biafran territory.

No wonder Delta north population increased by 50% in last 7 years and are the ones pushing Ned nwoko to add Delta north to east

Establish SE development commission... No.
Build seaport in the SE region...... No
Build standard rail in the SE..... No
Build CNG conversion center in the SE... No


Build Boko Haram rehabilitation center in SE... Yes.

Yet they said Kano state alone is bigger than the entire SE region.

Thunder fire those behind this dangerous idea.

The entire SE region must resist this evil idea.

Interesting 🤔

Bush people, always acting before reasoning

Stay away from the East for your own Safety.
Next, they will come and cry that NOUN refuse to build study Centre in the East.

Why burning down the university

Na themselves them dey do.

Ipob

Fineman2:

See this one in support of their oppressor..
Na dem dem...

Education no be scam o.

Who invited you to come and invest in South East?

When they were inviting people, was your name mentioned?

How much do you have?

How can you that hate Igbos be claiming you were invited to invest in the South East?

The call was for Igbos who have invested heavily in other parts of Nigeria to also invest back home.

A call that has been heeded as investments by indigenes have multiplied over the past year.

Keep your hatred and your little change to yourself.

You were not invited
