The home of the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia John Nwodo at Ukehe in Enugu State has been bombed.
It was gathered that an Improvised Explosive Device was thrown into his house by unknown persons from outside his compound.
The spokesman of the police in the state, Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the incident to NigerianEye
He noted that there were no lives lost to the explosion which he said was caused by a very low device thrown into Mr Nwodo’s compound by unknown persons.
“The State Commissioner of Police immediately raced to the scene of the incident on getting the report; and while there Mr Nwodo, who was not around when the explosion happened, also came in,” Mr Amaraizu said.
He said the explosion caused minor damage to the windows of a smaller building inside the compound.
The spokesman said the command has deployed its officers to secure the area.
“The command is on top of the situation and very soon the perpetrators will be arrested as we have commenced investigation into the incident,” he added.
Mr Nwodo has also reacted to the explosion at his residence.
Speaking briefly to newsmen on phone, Mr Nwodo said the attackers, who threw the explosive device through the fence of his house, are cowards.
He said the attack will not deter him from speaking on various issues affecting the country and the Igbos.
