After suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) invaded the Ugbolu community on the outskirts of Asaba, the Delta State capital, one person was killed.
Four vehicles were also set on fire, including three articulated cement trucks.
During a press conference at the state police headquarters in Asaba on Wednesday, Delta State Commissioner of Police Ari Ali Mohammed confirmed this.
According to him, the suspected militant group reportedly blocked the Ugbolu/Illah Road and attacked two Dangote trucks. The driver was killed after he denied knowledge of any sit-at-home order by the group.
Meanwhile, the police have warned miscreants to steer clear of the state, assuring the public of their safety as they go about their usual businesses. The police authorities stressed that there is no-sit-at-home order in the state.
