Rochas Okorocha to Artisans, Technicians and Traders in Ekeonunwa
Market, Mechanic Village at Orji and Nekede as well as illegal
squatters scattered all over the municipal may soon take a new
dimension and tolls, as tension now mounts in the capital following
rumours of proposed one million man march and protests by the affected
groups.
It was speculated that it was in line of available security reports
that the Governor cancelled a recent invitation meeting he scheduled
to hold with the leaders of the groups on Tuesday, May 31st but chose
to detail security agents to the leadership of the two villages to
ascertain the situation on ground and urge them not to embark on any
form of protest.
It was alleged that while the affected members of the artisans at Orji
and Nekede seem to have lost some confidence in their leaders who they
accuse of being on the side of government to effect the exercise that
they had proposed to take the bull by the horn to join their leaders
at any meeting in protest to express their displeasure on the proposed
relocation order, which they claim will jeopardize their jobs and
discomfiture as well dislocate their families.
reports have it that while artisans and technicians at the two
identifiable villages are on consultation with government on the mode
of movement to the new acquired locations at Avu, Naze, and Umuguma,
the Ekeonunwa traders and wayside auto mechanics and artisans are
allegedly planning for a one million man street protect march perhaps
without the approval of the security agencies.
If this were to take place, there are fears of mayhem as street
urchins and criminals may use opportunity of such event to unleash
mayhem or cause breach of the peace.
It is for this reason that various categories of security agencies
have mounted surveillance over the two villages and the market
locations.
