Governor Willie Obiano, who addressed journalists in Awka shortly after the attack, decried the worsening security situation in the South-East, saying the state was under siege by criminals.
He said: “I call on everybody, irrespective of affiliations, to come together and support government and security agencies to fight our common enemy.
