Okolie said that his library, documents, household items and artefacts got burnt as his house was razed by the arsonists.

Unknown gunmen have attacked the country home of the lawmaker representing Orlu state constituency at the Imo State House of Assembly, Paschal Okolie.

The gunmen razed down Okolie’s house at Umudura Akwakuma in Okporo community around 1am on Sunday morning.

The lawmaker on Tuesday confirmed the attack on his country home to journalists and called on security agents to arrest insecurity in the state.

Okolie said that his library, documents, household items and artefacts got burnt as his house was razed by the arsonists.

The lawmaker said, “On Sunday, February 12, 2023, at about 1am, arsonists invaded my residence at Umudura, Akwakuma, Okporo in Orlu Local Government Area and set it ablaze. All my household items, my library, documents and invaluable artefacts were lost in the inferno. I am still thankful to God that no life was lost.

“I have consistently condemned without mincing words, these acts of aggression, destruction and associated killings which have sadly become trademarks in our dear state.

“The burning of my house without provocation is another challenge to the security agencies to rise to the occasion and bring the perpetrators to account. I have no doubt that they are not relenting but more is expected of them so that our people will begin to have peace of mind.”

The spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoyo, said that he had not been briefed on the incident.
