There was intense criticism by residents and human rights activists on Wednesday morning when some officers of the State police command and those from the six division Nigerian army barricaded the Ikoku market with armoured vehicles preventing traders from accessing their shops despite the governor’s easing order.
According to the governor’s statement, “Dealers in Ikoku Spare Parts markets are warned for the last time to stop converting public roads to mechanic workshops or risk final closure. However, the statement seemed not to be no clear for the security agencies as the continued blocked the gateways to the market, chasing away traders that came for business activities.
A human rights activist and Executive Director of YEAC, FYNEFACE DUMNAMENE, expressed dismay that despite the governor’s directive, the Army and Police were still at Ikoku market violating human rights and preventing the people from carrying out their activities.
It looks like directives coming out from the Rivers state government are not usually clear.
