The Imo State Police Command has announced the arrest of over eight suspects in connection with the arson of the National Open University (NOUN) study center in Eze Oke Nsu, Ehime Mbano Council Area of ​​Imo State.

The arson attack occurred last Tuesday, sparked by rumors that the NOUN center would be converted into a facility for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

A leader from the Nsu community, who did not wish to be named for security reasons, stressed the need for increased security measures: “It is time for security agencies to build security checkpoints, especially the road to Ehime Mbano State House of Assembly. People in my community haven’t slept since Tuesday night. We are afraid. We have to take this kind of thing seriously.”

A community leader from a neighboring community and former President General echoed similar sentiments: “Security agencies must work together with local security forces now to secure not only Nsu but the entire community in Ehime council area of ​​the state. We must all be vigilant and report suspicious behavior because it has already begun and must stop for the good of our community.”
