Uduma explained that about 30 hoodlums invaded the court premises singing war songs before setting the building on fire.
They had previously attempted to burn down the state high court but were prevented by security agencies.
The council’s chairman, Mr. Chima Ekuma Nkama, confirmed the incident. He expressed disappointment and said the court was burnt beyond repair.
He informed the authorities, including the governor and commissioner of police, hoping the perpetrators would be apprehended.
Hopefully they are apprehended.
