Footage of so-called “unknown gunmen” (UGM) parading through a market in Abia State is spreading on social media.
About 50 armed men marched through Aba’s Ariaria Market in the footage, which was apparently filmed on Wednesday.
They were all wearing masks and carrying AK-47s, shotguns, machetes, axes, knives, and charms, among other weapons.
The gang allegedly threatened the traders that if the sit-at-home order was not followed, they would resort to violence.
The UGM, according to the DAILY POST, has a schedule of days in May when residents are not allowed to leave their homes.

Mondays, Nnamdi Kanu court days (17, 18, 26), Children’s Day (27), Inauguration Day (formerly Democracy Day) on the 29th, and Biafra Day are all examples (30).
UGM, according to the military, is the same as IPOB and its armed branch Eastern Security Network (ESN).
IPOB ESN members killed two soldiers in Imo State on Saturday, according to the Nigerian Army on Tuesday.
The victims were named as retired Master Warrant Officer (MWO) Audu Linus and Private Gloria Matthew, according to a statement by Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu.
When they were attacked, tortured, and murdered, the couple was on their way to their customary wedding.
