“What a sad day. My family compound in my village has been razed down by hoodlums last night.”
Chief Ozumba becomes the third commissioner in the cabinet of the state governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma to have his home come under fire.
The homes of Chief Cyprian Okechukwu Akaolisa, Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Hon. Declan Mbadiwe Emelumba, Commissioner for Information and Strategy had been similarly torched.
