Obiozor had yet to respond to an inquiry concerning the attack but one of the leaders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that he had called Obiozor to commiserate with him on the incident

He, therefore, called on the police to fish out those who carried out the attack.

The police spokesperson in the state, Micheal Abattam, had yet to respond to an inquiry concerning the attack on Obiozor’s country home as of press time.

The attack on Obiozor’s country home occurred the same day the Umuguma Divisional Police Headquarters in the Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State was razed by gunmen.
