Gunmen attack passengers in Abia
Gunmen were reported to have attacked passengers traveling along Ohafia-Uzuakoli-Umuahia Road, in Abia State, in the early hours of yesterday.
The attack, which could not be immediately ascertained whether it was linked to the enforcement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) sit-at-home order, which had been suspended, left a good number of the passengers injured.
It was gathered that the passengers were travelling from Ohafia to Umuahia when the incident happened.
The gunmen were reported to have laid ambush at the popular Ugwu Rubber, near Igbere, in Bende Local Government Area (LGA), from where they attacked the passengers.
As at the time of this report, there was no reported casualty; however, the passengers were said to have escaped into the bush with varying degrees of injuries.
