Again, Joe Igbokwe’s Anambra residence attacked as criminals vandalise building

The residence of Joe Igbokwe, a prominent figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Nnewi, Anambra State, has been targeted by criminal elements once more. Igbokwe made this known on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, revealing that the latest assault followed a similar incident in October 2021, allegedly committed by suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The APC chieftain expressed his frustration over the ongoing attacks on his home, stating that the extensive damage sustained in the previous assault had prevented him from rebuilding the property. According to Igbokwe, the latest intrusion involved thieves who stole electrical cables and generator batteries. They returned two weeks later to remove air conditioning units from the residence.

Igbokwe reported the ongoing incidents to relevant stakeholders and security agencies operating within the community. He emphasized that he does not wish to escalate tensions in Nnewi but is dismayed by the persistent underestimation of his resolve. The APC chieftain has taken steps to address the situation by notifying the Obi of Uruagu Nnewi, the traditional ruler of the area, and the Vigilante Group in their community.

Igbokwe urged criminals to desist from targeting his home in Uruagu Nnewi, warning that being forewarned could be a preventive measure.
