There was heavy tension at New Artisan, Enugu State after an alleged attempt by government officials to demolish the New Artisan Market was fiercely resisted by Hausa traders who reportedly used Ak-47 to chase the officials away.
According to reports, the Hausa traders seized the Government bulldozer, and chased away the police that accompanied members of the Enugu State Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA).
The gun-wielding traders blocked the NNPC end of the Enugu/Port-Harcourt expressway stopping vehicular movements just as they set up bunfires along the express.
It’s becoming increasingly obvious that all isn’t well……. Sometimes ago in kano state, some shops belonging to Christians, Igbos selling alcohol were destroyed by the hisban police men and no one was seen shooting government officials with Ak-47… In Enugu, they didn’t only shoot but block the roads…….. Ezigbo nsogbu dị……… IGBOS WAKE UP….!!!
