Unknown gunmen have destroyed another government building in Imo State, which is in the southeast of the country.
Some important documents may have been burned when attackers set fire to the building in Orlu, Imo State, that housed the high court and magistrates’ court.
Little more than a week had passed since the brazen armed men attacked the INEC headquarters in Owerri, the state capital, with their weapons drawn.

The attack was also confirmed by CSP Mike Abattam, the Imo State Police Public Relations Officer.
