Rumours have it that some yet to be identified assailants invaded a federal government-owned media outfit and carted away with valuables.
Unconfirmed reports have it that gunmen at about 2.30am on Friday raided the Anambra office of the News Agency of Nigeria located near Government House Awka, the state capital.
They beat up the security man, Kenneth Udeh while valuable of the agency were carted away. The bandits who allegedly scaled the perimeter fence gained entry into the building by cutting two burglary proofs.
Narrating the incident, NAN security man on duty, Mr Kenneth Edeh said the suspects attacked the office at about 2.30 am with guns and machetes.
Edeh said he only saw three of the gang while others laid ambush around.
“When they came in through the fence, they demanded the keys to the office and I told them, they are not with me, and they wanted to shoot at me but another just said they should machete me.
“So they started macheting me until I could no longer resist before they started breaking the protector and wall to gain entry and remove valuables,” he said.
The Anambra State Correspondent of NAN, Mr Emmanuel Ndukuba described the incident as unfortunate.
