The incident which took place at Opobo junction, along Ikot Ekpene road, Ogbor Hill, caused panic as street traders, motorists, and shop owners, scampered to safety.

A few minutes later, several patrol teams of policemen stormed the area as residents deserted the road.

As of the time of filing this report, Abia Police spokesperson, Maureen Chinaka, was yet to respond to a text message sent to her handset.
