Following the arraignment of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB leader, on Thursday, members of the outlawed group went on ramapage.

A soldier was murdered in a separate incident in Imo.

Daily Trust gathered that the attackers stormed the traditional ruler’s palace Thursday night.

They frantically searched for him, but since they could not find him or any member of his family, they set the palace on fire.

According to our source, the traditional ruler is currently taking refuge at the Divisional Police Headquarters located at Mmahu.
