This Wednesday afternoon, suspected hoodlums allegedly hijacked the #EndSARS peaceful protests in Abakaliki, the state capital, burning down some public infrastructure and attacking government properties.
Governor Umahi alleges that the perpetrators are infiltrators from outside Ebonyi state and wants them to leave before the commencement of the curfew.
Meanwhile, security agents have been sighted at strategic junctions of the state capital, in an effort to restore normalcy in the state.
