The two incidents were reported to have occurred around 6:00 a.m. Details about the killing of the middle-aged woman were still sketchy at the time of filing the report; however, the Sienna minivan was attacked while its driver was conveying some passengers to an undisclosed location in the state.

Sources told Naijacrawl that the hoodlums who were moving in a bus intercepted the minivan at Orie Emene junction and discharged the occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, before setting it on fire.

Meanwhile, economic activities across the state were grounded on Wednesday as a result of the sit-at-home order. Schools, markets, banks, malls, and petrol stations were closed in total compliance.

Our correspondent who monitored the development in some parts of the state reports that in Emene, New Heaven, Abakpa, GRA, and Obiagu, roads and streets were deserted.

Apart from a handful of military patrol vans spotted at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium heading towards Obiagu and empty police vans strategically parked at the Holy Ghost Roundabout and Ogbete main market, there was no sign of security presence.
