Many Injured, Goods 'Worth Millions Of Naira' Lost As Unknown Gunmen Attack Enugu Market, Burn Vehicles

Some gunmen have attacked Nkwo Ibagwa market in the Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State, injuring scores of people and destroying goods reportedly worth millions of naira.

The hoodlums, on Wednesday, also burnt at least two commercial buses and two tricycles.

SaharaReporters gathered that the gunmen who were allegedly enforcing sit-at-home order in commemoration of Biafra Heroes Day slated for Thursday, May 30, unleashed the mayhem on hapless traders at the market, destroying their wares and burning any vehicle in sight.

Charred remains of vehicles and tricycles loaded with goods were seen at different parts of the market.

The development has put fear in the residents and traders who have been counting their losses since the incident.

Meanwhile, there is palpable tension in the Enugu metropolis as military checkpoints have been mounted on major streets and roads.

Armoured Personnel Carriers were also stationed at strategic areas.

SaharaReporters observed that as a result of the numerous military and police checkpoints, there are traffic congestions on the major roads in the metropolis.

Soldiers are searching vehicles, especially SUVs and posh cars.

It was also observed that the military had deployed Armoured Personnel Carriers to Emene, Eke-obinagu, Abakpa Junction, Trans-Ekulu, Garriki, Holy Ghost, Ogui Junction, and New Heaven Junction among other strategic locations to reassure residents of the state that no harm would come to them if they disregard the sit-at-home order given by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Meanwhile, efforts to speak with the Enugu State Command Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe for comments regarding the incident at Igbo-Eze failed and he did not answer his calls.

Terrible!

Nothing justifies the destruction. But necessary questions should be asked.

The hoodlums, on Wednesday, also burnt at least two commercial buses and two tricycles.

1.
Why would IPOB do such a thing on the Wednesday (29th), not today (Thursday, 30th)? The report is not even clear. Did the whole thing happen on Wednesday or a part of it happened today? Apart from the Wednesday, no date or another day is mentioned.

2.
Why would IPOB do such a thing only in that market? The very market is not the only marketplace in the Eastern region and is not the only market that functioned on the 29th in the region. The very market is neither the smallest nor the biggest in the region.

It was only during the EndSARS protest that Nigerians admitted that a movement can be hijacked by hoodlums. The market attack is totally wrong, whether it was by IPOB or by another group. But if not that common sense is not common in Nigeria, those accusing IPOB here should first do an intelligent analysis to have a better idea of who should be suspected in the case.

If you like, attack my comment and call me IPOB. But you cannot point out any falsehood or illogicality in my comment.

This is really getting out of control

These people Are representing we Ndi Anambra well

I know today na today where ipob terrorist will cannibanism their people and they will meet ojukwu today to celebrate the Biafra with him.

Jeremiah 19:9
I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh during the stress of the siege imposed on them by the enemies who seek their lives.'


Peter Obi must react today if truly he is not a supporter of Ipob terrorists.

Many of you think the warning is a joke.
Now you will suffer the consequences.
Waiting for news in Anambra, Imo, Abia and Ebonyi states.
You know May 30th is Sit at Home.

When i got information yesterday how market people were chased away in Nsukka Ibagwa , buses and goods also burnt i began to ask if the aim of Biafra is to harm his own people. I got a reliable information that Fulanis are already occupying some local govt in the south East without innocent people knowing. Occupation of any territory doesn't fall from heaven, it must have some backup from leadership of the community and state. God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Toh

SE, the wonderland where the illiterate kids are the one calling the shots

How I wish the Igbo people could have channeled their energy to sack the miscreants locking their region up same way they channeled their energy on Obi's presidency

In all this, you would never hear Peter Obi saying peem, Dem no born am well. He fears the UGM more than anything.

And this is the same Peter Obi that's quick to react to happenings in other region but charity no dey begin from his own home. The fake messiah sent from Pluto

....

Today is Sit @ home.

Even Police ce and army are sitting at home.

No time for Lamba

Biafra is here to stay, bring it on boys......no peace for d wiked

DSS and Fulani will be blamed as usual for their own foolishness

Wednesday is not sit at home,so how can they be enforcing a sit at home? This sounds like propaganda against IPOB meanwhile today's sit at home in the southeast is experiencing total and absolute compliance. May today be peaceful too, Isee.

They can do better, let their people keep hiding them, when it's time they will set themselves free.
In a time like this, they're still inflicting pains on themselves

This is so wrong. Destroying people's things and burning buses all in the name of sit-at-home enforcement

Obi,ezekwesili…national anthem is not killing your kinsmen,UGM is.
condemn this,not national anthem.

Family business, nothing concern us.

The hypocrite Obi won't write any thread now. But when the military clashed at Banex Plaza in Abuja, his Epon (d!ck) was erect for days.

Is this how they will run Biafra? Lol. All of una go become slaves to Ekpa and his ESN goons. Na like this Emma Powerful go dey lash una mothers Koboko for yansh 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We must collectively condemn this
