An eyewitness, who spoke to LEADERSHIP on ground of anonymity, said that the suspected gunmen carried out the attack while enforcing the illegal Monday sit-at-home order, adding that the attack disrupted both vehicular and human movements along the ever-busy Abakaliki-Enugu expressway.

The eyewitness noted that the hoodlums targeted motorists and that they took time to set ablaze vehicles and motorcycles while terrified residents scampered for safety.

The eyewitness further revealed that the incident took place at about 8am on the Monday morning, adding that the hoodlums were bearing sophisticated weapons and we’re shooting sporadically into the air to scare away residents of the area who were already out for their daily activities.

Meanwhile, normalcy has been restored in the area as the heavy presence of security personnel was noticed within and outside the state capital city.
