The security agents were said to have surrounded the market in a commando-style around 9 a.m.
They refused entry to the market to everyone while those already in the market before they arrived were not allowed to leave. They also closed off the Afikpo Road leading to the market forcing motorists to take alternate routes. The road is the main entrance into Abakaliki from the Enugu-Abakaliki expressway and so the closure caused heavy traffic around the area.
A security source said the security agencies were at the market following alleged discovery of a cache of ammunition in the market.A source at the market claimed the ammunition was loaded in a truck and concealed with other goods.
And they are yet to Cordon off where Boko Haram is holding school children hostage😄😄
Something might be fishy, I bet.
