On Wednesday, inhabitants of Ugbolu, a hamlet near Asaba, Delta State’s capital, scurried for shelter when gunmen accused of implementing a sit-at-home order attacked the town.

According to reports, the gunmen murdered one person, set fire to two Dangote trucks, one commercial tricycle known as keke Napep, and damaged an Audi automobile.

The terrorists were said to have stopped the Ugbolu/Illah Road at Mile 5 and opened fire indiscriminately, killing one person.

However, another top pro-Biafra leader, Simon Ekpa, in a separate video declared “total lock down” in the region from May 16 to 18.

This will be the first time the violent enforcement of the sit-at-home order extended to the neighbouring South-South state.
