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.
