Tensions are escalating in Enugu State as protests have broken out following the alleged murder of local musician Igbo Jah by a police inspector. In response to the incident, the inspector has been arrested, and the police have initiated a thorough investigation, as confirmed by Enugu police spokesperson Daniel Ndukwe.
According to reports, the protests have turned violent, with hundreds of residents converging on the anti-cult headquarters, where they attempted to set the building ablaze. Law enforcement officers on the scene intervened to prevent the destruction, but protesters have since blocked roads in various parts of the state capital, including Onu Asata, where they are burning tires and chanting slogans expressing their anger.
The use of burning tires has become a prominent feature of these demonstrations, serving as a symbol of the protesters' outrage and frustration. The thick smoke from the burning tires can be seen from a distance, drawing attention to their demands for justice in the wake of Igbo Jah's tragic death.
As tensions rise, police have resorted to using teargas to disperse the crowd, leading to an increasingly volatile situation. The protesters remain adamant in their calls for accountability in Igbo Jah's murder, as the community grapples with the implications of this incident. The situation continues to develop, with local authorities urging calm while addressing the unrest.
