Gunmen enforcing stay-at-home in Enugu kill one, set 2 cars,5 tricycles ablaze

At around 5:30 am yesterday, gunmen raided the Abakpa neighborhood of the Enugu city, setting one individual on fire inside his Sienna vehicle.

The hoodlums suspected of enforcing the sit-at-home order that was gradually being disregarded by people in the South-East also set fire to about two automobiles and five tricycles.

Many withdrew from coming outside in the morning because of the occurrences’ early-morning fear, but they overcome it later that day.

The incident happened at the Liberty Bus stop, Abakpa, in the state capital’s Enugu East Local Government Area, where the hoodlums attacked the passenger cars heading to Nsukka.

Similar to how they allegedly burned the driver inside the car, the shooters were at a well-known T-junction in the Abakpa neighborhood.

An eyewitness  stated: “They (the insurgents) stopped the man and commanded him to step out of the car, the man resisted, and that made the gunmen to open the fuel cover and shot into the tank making the car go up in flames with the man inside.”
