Gunmen have set the building of a Federal High Court on fire, in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State. The attack was reportedly carried out using petrol bombs in the early hours of Tuesday.
Fire fighters were said to have later mobilised to the scene to put out the fire before it could cause more damage.
No casualty was recorded in the attack which destroyed court records in the library.
The police spokesperson in the state, Loveth Odah, while confirming the incident said the attackers came in their large numbers to carry out the attack.
Most states in the South-east and South-south, have been grappling with severe security challenges, including the spate of attacks on security agencies.
