As a result of the development, traders in major markets in the cities closed their shops and scampered to safety for fear of being attacked by the hoodlums.
The trader added, “Some of us who came to the market this morning hung around and were monitoring the development, while some traders opened their shops partially. But pandemonium started when we heard gunshots being fired near the bridgehead. Immediately, traders and customers in the market started running.”
It was also learnt that two persons were allegedly shot at a petrol station in the border town of Ihiala Local Government Area and another attack by the hoodlums at the neighbouring Okija community. Meanwhile, our correspondent could not immediately ascertain if the two persons shot in Ihiala LGA survived the gunshot.
