Onitsha occupants are currently under the tension of insecurity and fear of the unknown, as a truck fully loaded with cartons of live bullets fell and spills contents all around the street, in the commercial city of Anambra State.
Anaedoonline.ng gathered that the incident occurred on Sunday 9th of MAY, 2021 morning on Awka Road in the city as early worshipers made their way to churches.
This attracted a massive and well-armed heavy security presence to the Awka Road area and Shoprite axis of the city.
It was gathered that the truck, a Mercedes Benz 911 model was said to be moving the goods out of Onitsha to an undisclosed location when the driver lost control and the vehicle skidded off the road and fell into a gutter.
According to an eyewitness who spoke to some journalists around 6.50 am at the scene of the accident on Sunday, “the truck fell around 5 am, the driver and his conductor after sustaining minor injuries tried to evacuate and conceal the content of the truck but they could not do much before daybreak when some police operatives arrived the accident scene only to discover the truck was laden with a confinement of live bullets.”
