Dubai returnee, two others k#lled as Enugu traders protest after Gov. Mbah reportedly sealed their shops for obeying sit-at-home order

Bonaventure Nwodo, a Dubai returnee, was among the three people who were reportedly k#lled in a protest following the sealing of their shops in Ogbete Main Market, Enugu State, by Governor Peter Mbah over noncompliance with his ban on sit-at-home.

It was gathered that several others were also inj¥red during the protest that occurred on Wednesday, July 26.

According to reports, the protest turned vi%lent after security operatives allegedly opened fir£, k#lling at least three persons and inj¥ring others.

However, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Enugu State Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, in a statement said the protest turned vi%lent after it was hij@cked.

“Normalcy has been restored at Ogbete Market Enugu and its surroundings, following the report of protest by some traders over the sealing of their shops by the State Government and their attempt to force others, whose shops were not sealed, to close theirs and the entire market closed.

The initially peaceful protest was hij@cked and made to become vi%lent.

Traders in the market and citizens alike have been pleaded with to remain law-abiding, peaceful and cooperative, while using approved channels to express their grievances,” he said.
