There is serious tension around the Obosi end of the Second Niger Bridge, Onitsha, Anambra State over persistent gunshots along the road leading to the bridge.

The shoot-outs which began at about 9:30am on Sunday were between some men in military attire and a group of boys, suspected to be criminals.

The hoodlums invaded the road, linking the yet-to-be commissioned Second Niger Bridge on two motorcycles and one tricycle, where they engaged the men on military uniform, who also came with a Hilux van, in gun battle.
