Hoodlums Sack Abba Waterfront Residents

Residents of Abba waterfront in Diobu area of Port Harcourt have called on the state government to intervene in the activities of hoodlums in the area for the safety of their lives and property.
The residents said these miscreants who had been in the business of killings and robbery, raping of choicest girls, as well as seizing of valuables have caused a high level of unrest in the area, leaving them with no option than fleeing their homes to avoid becoming victims of circumstances.
Speaking to The Tide under condition of anonymity, one of the residents said, “the area is no longer safe for us to live. We can no longer stay in our houses anymore because these boys will break in and molest us, take whatever”. They also stated that the situation had threatened the business activities of the area resulting in hunger and starvation as they could not go out to buy and sell their wares and products. These residents who have suffered threats to lives and property however, expressed optimism that the efforts and intervention of the government would restore sanity in the area.
