Gunmen have set the residence of the Commissioner for Justice and the Attorney General of Imo State, Cyprian Akaolisa, on fire.

The assailants also destroyed his father’s house in Obibi, Awo-Idemili, Orsu Local Government Area of the state.

In a statement, the Commissioner decried the attacks, wondering what the grievance against him and his father were all about.

“The Igbos are hardworking 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 carniballising 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 loses.”

The police spokesperson for the command, Micheal Abattam, is yet to comment on the incident.

Gunmen raze home of Imo attorney-general — second attack in 9 months

The home of Cyprian Akaolisa, attorney-general of Imo, has been razed by gunmen.

The incident is the second attack on Akaolisa’s building in less than a year.

In June 2021, the building was razed but no casualties were recorded.

The Imo attorney-general had been sacked over alleged misconduct in 2021, but was recalled after three months, with the state saying the dismissal was done in “error”.

Confirming the latest incident on Sunday, Akaolisa said his father’s house was also set ablaze in the attacks which occurred over the weekend.

“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 sweat. Today, both buildings are in rubble and ashes,” he said.

“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.

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

While condemning the attacks and other acts of violence across the state, he urged stakeholders in Imo to unite against such negative developments in the interest of moving the state forward.

Immatex:

Biafra go worst pass Nigeria!

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 suddenly forgotten that Buhari is dead and the President is Jubril al Sudani. They have forgotten that the Queen of England wrote a condolence letter.

Immortal clowns!

The ones who we wrongly thought possessed sound education to counter the hatred and misinformation, stayed quiet and even joined to chorus the insanities that were peddled by IPOB. If they were not busy analysing pictures, they would be demanding for Buhari to remove his cap, or asking the whereabout of Osinbajo.

Now that they are tired of their own propaganda and conspiracy theories which included blaming the DSS, they have now wisened up after personal and tragic interactions with the terrorists who look and speak like them.

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.
