Youths in Igbo-etche, Etche local government area of Rivers State have threatened to block the Etche-Eleme junction by end of August if the federal and state governments fail to mobilize contractors to fix the bad section of the road.
Also, another resident in the area said, “My brother was kidnapped on this very bad spot. They have been calling us to bring ransom. The step Eleme/Ogoni took was peaceful and it was nice. I think that measure can as well apply in Etche. So, we are calling on the Rivers State Government to come to our plight,” he pleaded.
“We are really surprised that we are being counted among Rivers indigenes. No vehicle can cross this area and we sleep with one eye open due to kidnapping, armed robbery, raping and other things that are happening here.
