Again, unknown gunmen strike in Enugu, open fire on commercial bus

Unknown gunmen attacked a commercial vehicle and opened fire at travelers along Four Corner-Udi Road in Enugu State.

It was gathered that the heavily armed gunmen deflated their tires, forcing the commercial vehicle to stop, and they shot at passengers.

An eyewitness said the driver and a number of passengers escaped death by whiskers.

A video of the incident shows a casualty bleeding from his leg where he had been shot as nurses in a dark hospital used torchlight to treat the injured passenger.

This happened on Sunday, Nov. 20.

The passengers said they were traveling in a Sienna from Abakiliki in Ebonyi State, to Awka, in Anambra state, when they were attacked.
