The Owerri, Imo State residence of a former Governor of the state, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, has been bombed.
Sources said the house was attacked at about 1:30am on Thursday.
Those who threw in the explosives that wreaked the havoc were said to have removed part of the roof to gain access.
The house was said to have almost been totally destroyed by the impact of the explosion.
Reacting to the development, Ohakim said: “This is the only building I have in this state.
“I built it in 1992 when I was a commissioner.
“Now I have to knock at people’s door to have a place to sleep.”
