There is heightened tension in Enugu following a bomb
explosion at the national headquarters of the apex Igbo socio-cultural
organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in the state.
According to LEADERSHIP that the sad development, which
occurred at No. 7 Park Avenue, G.R.A Enugu, destroyed parts of the building and
some infrastructure.
It was further gathered that the explosion caused a fire
outbreak but it was swiftly put out, and that the devastation affected parts of
the main hall of the Ohanaeze secretariat where major meetings of the body are
held.
Although no life was lost, close sources reported that the
impact of the explosion shook the entire vicinity.
Many people have attributed the explosion to the recent
leadership crisis which has pitched the Enwo Igariwey-led leadership against
the Elders Council of Ohanaeze led by elder statesman, Mbazuluike Amaechi.
The group’s executive body is claiming a four-year tenure
but the elders’ council has insisted that the exco’s two-year tenure expired on
January 7 this year and has thus constituted a caretaker committee led by Chief
Ralph Obioha.
