A section of the Ikwerre Local Government Council secretariat was set on fire, heightening tensions in the area.
This incident follows a similar blaze at the Eleme Local Government Council secretariat earlier today.
The fires erupted shortly after the Inspector-General of Police ordered police personnel to vacate the premises, which they had sealed to prevent violence.
No arrests have been made, and the police have not released an official statement. Concerns are growing about potential violence in other local councils across the state.
The situation remains volatile as investigations continue. The public eagerly awaits updates on the unfolding situation, seeking assurance of restored order and stability.
