Five persons are feared dead on Saturday morning following
attack by hoodlums enforcing Simon Ekpa’s five days sit-at-home order in the
South East.
A viral video circulating online has showed yet to be
identified two victims lying lifeless at the front of Enugu State University
Teaching Hospital, Parklane.
Others were shot at the New Market Area. A police car was
also set ablaze within the same location.
Eyewitness recounted that the gunmen, numbering over ten,
stormed the area as early as 6 a.m. before shooting into the air to scare
people off the street.
They are marching from one part of the State to another
without resistance.
Following the development, many residents have been forced
indoors for fear of attack.
