In another report, there was mild pandemonium at the Iboko community in the Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State earlier in the week, after gunmen stormed the area and killed no fewer than two security guards and two fuel attendants during attacks in the community.
An eyewitness who spoke to The Eastern Updates under the condition of anonimity said the gunmen disguised as natives, stopped at strategic locations in the community and bought food items before unleashing the mayhem.
He claimed that when the incident happened, at least five hundred individuals in the area—women, shopkeepers, and students—ran for cover and abandoned their merchandise in equal measure.
A worker at the Ebonyi State High Court, Abakaliki, told our correspondent in confidence that she missed being lynched by the hoodlums, adding the incident was destabilising.
