Rivers Crises: Ikwerre LG council headquarters on fire

A part of the Ikwerre Local Government Council secretariat has been set ablaze, escalating tensions within the area.

News360 Nigeria had earlier reported that Eleme Local Government Council secretariat was also set on fire in early hours of today.

The fire outbreak emerged shortly after the Inspector-General of Police asked policemen, who initially sealed the secretariats to avoid violence to withdraw from the facilities immediately.

So far, no arrests have been made, and the police have yet to release an official statement on the incident.

The situation has raised concerns about the potential for further violence, not just in Ikwerre but in other local councils across the state.

As investigations continue, the public awaits more updates on the unfolding situation.
