“As I am talking with you, I am homeless, my building was completely burnt in the village, and nothing was rescued.

“I got a call at about 1 am this morning that my house was under by armed hoodlums, they gained access to the compound and burnt everything down while shooting indiscriminately.

“I lost everything in that house, it has five bedrooms and four living rooms, all my documents are lost in that inferno,” he said.

Agbordike was the immediate past deputy speaker of the Anambra House of Assembly.
