Some hoodlums suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have set ablaze a vehicle conveying foodstuffs in Enugu State.

It was gathered that the incident occurred at Edem Junction, Ibeagwa, Nike located in Enugu East Local Government Area (LGA) of Enugu State.

According to reports, the hoodlums who stormed the road in the early hours of Monday attacked the driver of the vehicle following his non-compliance to the already suspended Sit-at-home order.

Sympathizers were said to have placed a call to the State Fire Service prompting a quick response by the Ogui Road fire service station to the scene.

The leadership of the IPOB had at several times announced an end to the Monday sit-at-home, but some hoodlums insisted that it must continue until Nnamdi Kanu is released.

Violent attacks on those disobeying the order has forced residents of most parts of the South East to continue with the order.
