On sunday, a section of the Owerri magistrate court in Imo State was burnt by some yet-to-be-identified hoodlums.
It was gathered that the attack happened barely 24 hours after the Orlu high court was also said to have been burnt by yet-to-be-identified persons.
Osun Reporters disclosed that the unknown attackers were said to have stormed the court complex with explosives which targeted the roof of the facility.
According to the report, sensitive materials and documents, including files, were burnt. A source stated that “they have razed part of the Owerri magistrate court located on Owerri- Orlu Road. It is suspected that they threw explosive devices on the court”.
CSP Michael Abattam, the state Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the incident and said the command had begun an investigation with a view to arresting the brains behind the arson.
