Police Arrest 10 For Assaulting Construction Workers

Operatives of the Enugu State Police Command have arrested 10 persons for allegedly beating up workers of a construction company, Setraco and damaging their commuter bus. In a statement made available to LEADERSHIP SUNDAY in Enugu by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Ebere Amaraizu, he said the suspects were arrested by his men at the Amechi Idodo police division.
Amaraizu stated that the incident took place on the Enugu-Abakilki Road around Amechi Idodo axis of Enugu state on Thursday at 4:30pm where some boys under the guise of a youth organisation went to Setraco site and unleashed mayhem on the workers. He said the hoodlums damaged the workers’ commuter bus and beat the driver to coma.
“The police were alerted and their prompt intervention saved the situation from deteriorating. The state police command is trying to unravel the reason behind the attack with a view to bringing the culprits to book,” he stated.
