Commotion in Abia as market set ablazed, one shot dead, five injured

Today, some parts of the Umuahia Timber Market along Ahiaeke Road in Abia State has been set ablaze by angry traders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was after vigilantes tried to enforce the payment of N18,000 annual levy imposed by the Abia State Internal Revenue Board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The vigilantes who had tried to close the shops of those who failed to pay the levy were resisted by the traders who angrily set ablaze the office of the local guards in the market.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was after one of the traders identified as Indomie was shot dead and five others injured.
