Estate linked to his wife, Nkechi.
The ex-governor who now represents Imo West at the Senate
had gone to the estate with his supporters, policemen, soldiers and personnel
of National Security and Civil Defense Corps and ordered the unsealing of the
estate.
Government officials had mobilised to the estate, leading to
a free-for-all as many were reportedly injured while some cars were damaged.
