Hoodlums on Monday stormed Okoko and Amaokwe villages of Item community in the Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, shooting indiscriminately in the air.
Though nobody was murdered, cars, houses, and other valuables were destroyed.
TheNewsGuru gathered that hoodlums, pretending to enforce the Monday stay-at-home on behalf of the Indigenous People of Biafra, went to the community market square, Eke-Nta, in Okoko Item, where they shot without purpose, a situation that caused tension among residents who fled for their lives.
It was, however, not clear if the attack had to do with the enforcement of sit-at-home order, which had since been suspended by the proscribed IPOB.
The residents who had gathered for their normal businesses were forced to close shops.
The hoodlums later headed to Amaokwe Item and left through Item-Igbere exit route.
