According to report reaching us, there was chaos in Unwana Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi state today, 21st February, 2020 as counselorshop election held in Unwana town hall ended in violence when a man was shot, a lodge occupied by students of Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana was set on fire, a student was burnt in the process, and fire ravaged properties into ashes.

According to one of the youths who spoke on condition of anonymity, the landlord of the lodge (popularly called Eze Ogo) who happens to be the Local Government cordinator in Unwana ward shot someone during the election, this led the angry youths of the ward into violence. The angry mob proceeded to a lodge which belongs to Eze Ogo and set it on fire without considering the students who were inside the apartment.

The flame and smoke from the building was much as a result of the high rate of fire, two rooms and properties of students were destroyed and burnt to ashes in the lodge which is located close the ward market popularly called "Big Market" in Unwana. Efforts was made by neighboring lodges and some SUG officials present during the incident to put off the fire. No life was lost in the fire incident, but a student who was inside one of the rooms was seriously burnt and was immediately rushed to the school medical center for treatment and is still in a critical condition.

The last time I checked, who fights for this political brogadigorobodos in 21st century

Hmmm

My oldman informed me of this development, I have informed our honourable member at the house of representatives, I hope the coordinator guy is punished, he is terrorising my village. The coordinator shot and killed a villager and escaped, that's why his house was set ablaze, he and all his brothers are notorious cultists and the state government keeps rewarding them with political appointments.

Name of the Cordinator should be posted here. We need to follow this up before it's swept under the carpet.

Who in his rightful mind is still fighting for all these yeye leaders?

His name is Honourable Uchenna Ibiam coordinator Ubeyi Development Centre.

We should take caution towards the character of people we elect. From the FB walls of the criminal Dishonorable Uche Ibiam.

A clear terrorist.

Wait oh....for ordinary counsellorship election?......the coordinator should be made to face justice......that is if he doesn't have a god father that will shield him from justice.......we need to take away money from politics.....that's the only way to retire most of the evil men in politics.

Good one going bad

He has godfathers that usually shield him but social media can highlight and prevent a reoccurence, that's why it's good to bring it to public domain.

Mods pls take this to FP. We need to seek justice for the slain innocent gentleman.

Ordinary councillorship election..

Almost average Nigerians have lost their sanity..

Just saw the picture on FB. What a loss to the family. Pls Mods move to FP.

Why should lives be wasted � like this in this country. We must revert to jungle justice if the police can't protect us any longer.

For ordinary councillor election in this 21st century. Too bad.

Please Mods move to FP
