The Statue of Nigeria’s first President Nnamdi Azikiwe at Onitsha, Anambra State has been set ablaze by protesters suspected to be hoodlums.
The Heritage Times gathered that the statue, located at Denis Memorial Grammar School roundabout in Onitsha, was erected months ago by Gov. Willie Obiano.
The hoodlums are suspected to be some of those who hijacked the #EndSARS protest to wreak havoc.

The hoodlums who brandished dangerous arms, including machetes, were heard chanting unsavoury remarks towards the late statesman.
“You are the cause of our trouble,’’ was one of the remarks the hoodlums chanted.
