Nigerian soldiers have fled on Monday after clashing with unknown gunmen who were allegedly enforcing the sit-at-home order of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Enugu State.

According to the report, the gunmen were said to have intercepted the tricycle on Monday morning and burnt a tricycle at Amechi Road, beside Romchi filling station in Enugu.

It was gathered that soldiers who were called to calm the situation fled after a gun battle with the gunmen, SaharaReporters reports.

“The gunmen asked the rider why he refused to remain indoors. The owner and his passengers were unhurt. The Keke (commercial tricycle) was carrying passengers. They forced the occupants out, collected their phones, and set the Keke ablaze.

“When Nigerian soldiers came for the distress call, the gunmen engaged them and they fled. The army zoomed off from unknown gunmen around St. Paul’s Primary School, Achara Layout, Enugu,” READ FULL STORY HERE
