A mob in Anambra state has burnt the statue of Nigeria’s pioneer President, late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, in Onitsha.
The statue was erected at Denis Memorial Grammar School Roundabout, Awka Avenue, Onitsha, which is also known as Zik Roundabout. While the mob were on rampage, they bathed the statue with petrol and set it on fire.
While the statue was being burnt, the mob shouted: “You put us in this mess by championing one Nigeria.You are the cause of our trouble.” Also, other uncomplimentary remarks were made by the mob.
