Gunmen have invaded Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi State.
The heavily armed men of the underworld are said to be shooting sporadically, thereby causing residents to scamper for safety.
The situation led to a rowdy situation in the city with traders forced to close their shops and retire to their homes.
Many others took refuge in hotels and anywhere they could find or fear of running into the gunmen.
Unconfirmed reports said the gunmen have razed a section of Ahịa Ofú market located along the Abakaliki-Enugu highway.
A source, who pleaded anonymity, said he had to run into a hotel to take refuge.
“I am also taking refuge at my friend’s abode. I ran from site (mechanic village), just before Spera-in-doe junction, I heard gunshots and people were running for safety. I managed to get to Agwu street from convent road”, the source said.
