Enugu State Police Command has confirmed the shootings in Enugu by miscreants trying to enforce the sit-at-home order, earlier suspended by the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB).
The command also confirmed the snatching and burning of a Toyota Sienna vehicle and a tricycle at Umueze and Agbani , Nkanu West Local Government Area of the State.
In a statement in Enugu on Monday, the Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, ASP Daniel Ndukwe, said the situation has come under control and urged residents to go about their normal duties.
He said that the alleged cases of sporadic shootings at Topland Amechi-Awkunanaw, by miscreants alleged to be enforcing illegal sit-at-home order caused panic within Enugu metropolis in the morning hours of Monday.
“Consequently, law-abiding citizens of the state have been enjoined to go about their lawful businesses without fear of intimidation or harassment, as police and other security operatives, have been duly deployed to further thwart the untoward activities of the miscreants in the state. Further development will be communicated”, Ndukwe said.
