Motorists and commuters travelling along the Enugu-Abakaliki Expressway have raised concerns over renewed highway robbery attacks on the road, particularly around the Eke-Obinagu and Idodo areas of Enugu State.
The highway, which connects Enugu and Ebonyi states, is one of the busiest routes in the South-East region.
Findings by our correspondent showed that several travellers have recently fallen victim to armed robbers who reportedly operate mostly at night, forcing many motorists to avoid the route after dusk.
Sources said the latest incident involved the killing of a commercial Sienna bus driver who was reportedly returning from Lagos to Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital.
