A vehicle conveying vegetables, tomatoes and other perishable foodstuff was on Monday morning set ablaze by yet to be identified hoodlums in Enugu.
No person has been arrested in connection to the incident but the attacker’s witnesses said might be enforcing the nonexisting sit-at-home order of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Pointblanknews.com recalls that IPOB has announced the cancellation of the exercise and even threatened to deal with anyone enforcing the order but this might not have solved the problem.
The incident, happened at Edem Junction, Ibeagwa, Nike in Enugu East Local Government Area of the state.
The vehicle was said to be coming from the Ugwogo end of the Opi/Enugu bypass when it was blocked and set on ablaze.
Sympathizers were said to have put a call to the State Fire Service prompting a quick response by the Ogui Road fire service station to the scene.
The spokesman of Enugu Police Command, ASP Daniel Ndukwe promised to get back to our correspondent when he was contacted for comments.
