The representative for Ogbaru Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Afam Victor Ogene, has spoken out against the recent attack on the Atani offices of Ogbaru Local Government Area in Anambra State. The attack happened in the early hours of August 30, 2024, and was carried out by a group of highly armed gunmen who damaged and destroyed the secretariat. Ogene said the attack was “utterly horrendous, mindless, and worrisome,” and he was very worried about how unsafe the area was becoming.
Reports from the scene say that the attackers, who were about 30 strong, were carrying guns and bombs. They allegedly got into the area from the direction of Umuzu and Amiyi, planning to do as much damage as possible. Witnesses described the chaos that broke out when gunmen stormed the building and started firing guns and throwing explosives at anyone they could. The attack did a lot of damage to the LGA headquarters. Several buildings and cars inside the complex were destroyed.
