[From CHINEDU NWAFOR, Abakaliki]
Suspected hoodlums enforcing the Monday sit-at-home order have set ablaze a bus at the Edem junction Ibeagwa, Nike in the Enugu East Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The bus was conveying tomatoes, vegetables and other foodstuff into Enugu.
It was gathered that the vehicle was coming from the Ugwogo end of the Opi/Enugu bypass when it was blocked and set on fire by the hoodlums.
Sympathizers were said to have put 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 have severally announced an end to the Monday sit-at-home but some hoodlums have insisted it must continue until Nnamdi Kanu is released.
Violent attacks on those disobeying the order have forced residents of most parts of the South East region to continue to comply with sit-at-home order, even as the IPOB group has continued to deny complicity in the harassment of residents.
The group claims it only enforces the sit-at-home order on the Mondays its leader, Nnamdi Kanu is to appear for trial in court.
