Some unidentified persons have reportedly burnt the Ariaria Police Divisional Headquarters, Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State, in the early hours of today.
Most markets in the city and other businesses have been closed and people stayed in their homes as youth unrest spread round the city like wild fire following rumours that went viral in the wee hours of today that soldiers burnt houses and killed some residents of Umuode near Aba and its environs, Sun reports.
Although, information about the attack as at the time of filing the report was sketchy as sources said that there was no casualty.
It was gathered that following the attack, security has been beefed up at the Aba Area Command Headquarters and other Police Divisions in the commercial city.
