Unknown armed men alleged to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) attacked Obollo-Afor town in Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu State on Monday and dispersed residents who opened their shops for business.
Reports say the gunmen, who came into the commercial town on motorcycles, destroyed a Sienna vehicle belonging to a vigilante group, and also set ablaze a tricycle after discharging its passengers and pushing away the owner.
A trader narrated that, “They had guns, knives and whips with which they dispersed people. They didn’t shoot at anybody.
“Their faces were covered. I am still shaking from the shock. I thought they would attack me since my shop was open at the time they passed.
“Later on, I heard they were beating some people and asking others to go back home.”
