Confirming the arson at his palace, Igwe Nnabuife said he had no problem with anyone in his community prior to the incident. He said;
“It is true that my palace was burnt down by these boys and I have lost everything that I laboured all my life to achieve and as it is now I am homeless.
“Everything was razed down but I thank God that no life was lost and nobody was harmed by those boys and this is the way it is in my town Isseke.”
Anambra police spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga who also confirmed the incident, said it is being investigated. He said;
