A distressing video currently circulating on social media has drawn public attention to a violent attack on a traveler along the Enugu/Port Harcourt Expressway. The man, whose identity has not yet been released, was reportedly ambushed by unidentified assailants while on the expressway and sustained multiple injuries.
According to eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred in a forested section of the expressway, an area where travelers have previously reported security concerns. In the video, the victim—clearly in shock—could be seen speaking faintly to bystanders who rushed to his aid and facilitated his immediate transportation to a medical facility.
Sources confirm that the injured man is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital, and his condition is reported to be stable.
While the identities and motives of the attackers have not been confirmed by security agencies, the incident has heightened calls for stronger security presence along the expressway and in surrounding communities. Residents and road users have expressed growing concerns over their safety and are appealing to government authorities for urgent intervention.
The Enugu State Government and relevant law enforcement bodies are yet to issue an official statement, but local leaders and civil society groups are urging for a thorough investigation to ensure justice is served and preventive measures are put in place.
In the meantime, commuters are advised to remain cautious, avoid traveling alone through isolated areas, and report any suspicious activity to the nearest security personnel.
