Shocking Reactions Trail Burning of Joe Igbokwe’s Home
The maxim of being your brother’s keeper appears to have taken flight in the incident over the burning of the Nnewi, Anambra country home of frontline All Progressives Congress, APC chieftain in Lagos State, Mr. Joe Igbokwe.
Igbokwe, the former publicity spokesman of the APC in Lagos State and current Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos State on Drainages reported on Sunday that his Nnewi, Anambra State had been set alight by operatives of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The burning of Igbokwe’s home came the same day that the offices of the Department of State Services, DSS, Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC were also burnt down by mysteriously called unknown gunmen.
His immediate reaction that IPOB was responsible for the burning was strongly rebuffed by several twitter users and who mostly are his Igbo kin.
Shockingly given the immense loss, many claimed but without evidence put the blame for the arson on Igbokwe himself, that is despite the lamentations of the APC chieftain that it was a great loss and sacrifice on his part. He particularly lamented the loss of his library.
There were also some who claimed that the palatial mansion was an indication that Igbokwe’s brand of politics was reflective of the profit that the APC chieftain had made from his style of politics.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG gathered some of the reactions to the burning of the residence:

JOE IGBOKWE BURNS HIS HOUSE!
Let nobody ever be deceived by the antics of @JoeIgbokwe and @GovNigeria
that arranged and burnt Joe’s house. They did that to create a false impression and link IPOB with it. It’s a childish trick.
One Man @ChizzyC7
FROM SIMON EKPA BURN DOWN THE EAST, PUT THE BLAME ON IPOB It is now very clear that Joe Igbokwe’s hand is soiled in unknown gunmen, he is part of the sponsors. Joe Igbokwe’s comment that “my house in Nnewi has been sacrificed..” vindicated IPOB,

Joe igbokwe deleted his post where he accused IPOB of burning down his house. Even public apology won’t save him from answering for defamation.After doing their DIRTY jobs they want to put it on IPOB.

Joe igbokwe deleted his post where he accused IPOB of arson. This won’t stop him from answering for defamation You can’t win this war against the ppl. He should be a man and not acting cowardly if he believes in every honesty that IPOB set his house ablaze he should stand by it
Free Biafra @Nj99625368
Joe Igbokwe staged the burning down of his house to attract the attention of APC presidency in Abuja. IPOB has no business with joe igbokwes home..
Prophet itode Iloye @IloyeItode

OZO IGBO @Ozo_Njenje
The burning of Joe igbokwe house is another script written and acted upon by those rogue politicians doing all they can to demonize IPOB. As expected Joe rushed to the media to accuse IPOB without investigation. Otellectuals will start to call out IPOB but we move, no stopping.
