Gunmen Invade Rivers Community, Kill Father Of Two

Residents of Eleparanwo in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State are still in shock over the killing of a middle-aged man by some gunmen in a tricycle popularly called keke, last Friday morning.
The residents said the gunmen invaded the community in a tricycle around 6am and shot the man in the head.
Some of them who spoke on a radio station programme monitored by our correspondent said the gunmen might have trailed the man for sometime before carrying out the attack.
A resident, who identified the deceased as a father of two, said: “The young man had been living in Eleparanwo for the past two years. We woke up this morning (Friday) around 6am and started hearing noises in the compound that our neighbour was about to go out for his business but some men in keke shot him at a nearby junction.”
Similarly, another resident, who did not mention her name, said: “He was my very good friend. I knew him very well. He was married with two kids. I was not around, but I was called that he was shot.”
The dwellers lamented the high rate of crime in the area since #EndSARS protests that later turned violent, made policemen to desert the streets.
“I want to use this medium to plead with His Excellency to ban keke from Eleparanwo. The rate of criminality is too much. There is no security there again. We have never seen this kind of thing is our community,” an angry resident stated.
