The incident, we gathered, is happend at the Emene axis of the city, and commuters are being turned away from the road.

The road from Oye Emene to Eke has also been blocked at Ukwu Mango Bus Stop.

Many of those reported dead include Okada Riders and Keen Napep operators who formed part of the group. Efforts to communicate with the spokesperson of the Enugu state police command have proven abortive as all known contacts are unreachable.
