Gunmen’s Shots Cause Panic In Port Harcourt

There was panic at Ogbunabali area of Port Harcourt on Wednesday
evening as gunmen drove around the place on a mini bus shooting
intermittently.

A source, who witnessed the incident, said it could not be
confirmed what brought the gunmen to the area but that their action
sent people running in different directions for safety.

The source said: “Many drivers abandoned their vehicles and ran
away, while others reversed to where they were coming from. The
whole confusion caused serious traffic congestion on all adjoining
roads in the area including the Port Harcourt – Aba Expressway
around the Garrison Flyover.

“At one point point, the gunmen got down from their bus off the
main Ogbunabali Street to try to clear the traffic, but had to turn
back after they could not wade through the maze of abandoned
vehicles”.

Governor Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, commissioned the the
dualisation of Ogbunabali Road to join the Old GRA part of the
city.

Police spokesman Nnamdi Omoni promised to verify the
incident.
