On Wednesday, a market ticket taskforce member and a soldier got into a fight at the lot 2 international market in Abakalili, Ebonyi State, causing tension.

During the conflict, the soldier and a few taskforce members suffered injuries of various intensities.

When the soldier, identified as Nwuzor Elias, was harassed by the taskforce members and requested to pay N5,000 for loading and unloading in the market, he refused, and they had a verbal altercation.

“Ticket people just attacked me at International Market because I refused to give them 5,000 naira which they claimed it is for loading and offloading.”

“I told them that I’m not carrying anything and I’m not coming to carry anything that I’m only here to buy something and secondly I identified myself as a soldier to them”.

“They said nothing concerned them with being a soldier, that I should go to Port Harcourt and continue with my soldier work, that they are also Biafra soldiers

“Before I knew what was going on, they attacked me, injured me and I am presently at a hospital in Abakaliki.

“Before going to the Hospital, I went to the Barack and I reported my case and they wanted to arrest all of them but they have ran away because they heard about their coming including their cso”, the injured soldier said.
