There was pandemonium at Bishop Okoye Street, Mile 3 Diobu in Port Harcourt City Local Government Area when four suspected fleeing armed robbers bumped into traders who had displayed their goods for the day's market.

 

A trader in the market, who simply identified herself as Rachael, told our Correspondent that they were in the market when they saw a Sienna vehicle with four occupants brandishing guns with their heads out of the windows of the vehicles.

 

The eyewitness said there was chaos as the armed robbers drove with speed into Bishop Okoye Street while being chased by Police officers.

 

Our source disclosed that some persons sustained injuries as the gunmen destroyed trader's goods while escaping through the place.

Another trader told our Correspondent that the gunmen were intercepted and arrested at Olu-Obasanjo road.
