There was tension at the Tonimas junction market in Osisioma Ngwa council area, Abia State as traders reportedly clashed with officials of the State Task Force on COVID-19.
But sources from the Government circles told our correspondent that the Task Force had stormed the market located along the Enugu –Port Harcourt expressway following refusal of the traders to obey government directive on the lockdown. He however said they were confronted by hoodlums who started smashing the windscreen of vehicles in the convoy of the taskforce.
“They couldn’t let the task force address them. We left the area until the security arrived. So, there is no truth in any trader telling you that the task force destroyed their wares,” Nwabeke said.
