The house of the Imo State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Chief Declan Emelumba, in Oru East Local Government Area has been razed by gunmen.

The gunmen who stroke around 1 am on Sunday, destroyed all property in the Commissioner’s residence.

Chief Emelumba who confirmed the incident to THE NATION said: “Early hours of today(Sunday) between 1am and 2am, some people called me from the village that heavily armed gunmen stormed my compound, broke the gate and set the buildings ablaze.

“My gateman, who was the only person around when the gunmen came, managed to escape unhurt but the bandits had easy access to the building and completely burnt down everything.”

Meanwhile, operatives of the Imo State Police Command on Sunday killed five hoodlums that attempted another attack on the Command’s headquarters.

A suspected leader of the gang identified as Dragon was also arrested during the attack.

Imo Police spokesman, Bala Elkana, said that Dragon and his gang were repelled before they could assess the Command headquarters.

Elkana said: “They made efforts to access the Police Headquarters through Works Layout around Avan Nursery and Primary School but were vehemently repelled.

“They came in a white Hummer bus. Five of the hoodlums were killed during an exchange of fire and others were injured. The Hummer bus is recovered. Four Ak47 rifles were also recovered.

“We have unmasked the unknown gunmen today. The gang leader dreaded Dragon has been captured alive and he has made a useful statement that will end the idea of unknown gunmen terrorising the state.”
