In a similar incident in May, some gunmen attacked Nkwo Ibagwa market in the Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The gunmen injured scores of people and destroyed goods reportedly worth millions of naira.
The hoodlums also burnt at least two commercial buses and two tricycles.
SaharaReporters gathered that the gunmen who were allegedly enforcing sit-at-home order in commemoration of Biafra Heroes Day slated for Thursday, May 30, unleashed the mayhem on hapless traders at the market, destroying their wares and burning any vehicle in sight.
Charred remains of vehicles and tricycles loaded with goods were seen at different parts of the market.
The development has put fear in the residents and traders who have been counting their losses since the incident.
