Some security personnel reportedly sustained various degrees of injuries while a van belonging to the FRSC was burnt.
The attack in Orba and Eha-Alumona came 24 hours after two police officers on a stop-and-search duty were attacked and killed by some assailants, less than a kilometre from the Government House.
Meanwhile, efforts to get Daniel Ndukwe, the spokesperson of the Enugu police command, to comment on the attack, were unsuccessful.
