Boko haram arrived Enugu,
greets governor of Enugu state
with bomb explosion In Enugu
Market.
A one-year-old baby was
feared dead and many others
wounded following an
explosion which occurred at
Eke Ozi market in Igboeze
North Local Government area
of Enugu State, on Friday. The
incident which occurred at
about 2:00p.m yesterday few meters to
the divisional police
headquarters at Ogrute was
suspected to be bomb blast
making the market women
and traders run for safety.
Reports revealed that the
baby was trampled upon,
while hoodlums had a field day
looting shops, during the
stampede, which lasted for
some while. Although
commercial activities had
resumed in the market when
our newsmen visited the
scene, several traders were
seen counting their losses.
It was gathered that the
people of the area had been
apprehensive, since the
reports that some people
suspected to belong to the
Boko Hram sect were arrested
at Obolo Afor community by
the police last month. Both
Enugu Ezike and Obolo Afor
are border towns between
Benue and Enugu states.
Attempts to reach the state
Police Public Relations Officer,
Ebere Amarizu for comment
proved abortive
