The Pinnacle fuel station in Enugu was set ablaze by unknown arsonists.
It was learnt that the incident occurred early Friday morning.
It is reported that the arsonists came in a Toyota Corolla car and carried out the operation.
At least four cars within the vicinity were said to have been affected by the inferno.
As of the time of filing this report, the Agbani Road axis leading to the fuel station has been barricaded by men of the fire service and security operatives.
Neither the police nor the state government has issued a statement on the incident as of the time of filing this report.
Self acclaimed leader of Biafra republic in exile Simon Ekpa has a different view. In his X page he claims that the arsonists were Enuguites retaliating the “killing” of their relations by the governor. he has asked the governor to step back while his team investigates the incident
He says
They say the killer of Enugu people
@PNMbah the criminal governor gas station has been decimated by the people he killed their relatives and the good loving people of Enugu. Is like the idu aka na onu has finally arrived
We urge the @PNMbah to continue to be law abiding citizen as we look into the matter. He must not take the law into his hand as he usually does, the Biafra government will investigate the matter.
The common opinion is that the arsonists are his political opponents . It will be recalled that few days ago the popular Labour party and PDP threatened to boycott the polls citing intervention by the governor in the electoral process ahead of time.
It will be recalled that the election of the governor Peter Mbah came under very controversial circumstances although the court cleared him of accusations of forgery in certification
