Reporting.....Membis247Blog

Port Harcourt — Electricity customers in Oyigbo and Etche Local Government Areas of Rivers State on Wednesday barricaded the entrance of the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company in Oyigbo, in protest over 10 months of power outage in the area.

The protesters with fresh palm fronds and placards bearing different inscriptions, came from Komkom community in Oyigbo, Ikwerre engwo and Umuebule communities in Etche, for the protest.

Some inscriptions on their placards read, “give us light from Afam”, “PHED is inhuman over 10 months no light”, among others.

The protesters claimed that PHED took their power lines from Komkom feeder to Elelenwo feeder, demanding that the disco should restore their power to Komkom feeder, which according to them, was more reliable.

One of the protesters, who gave his name as Victor Nwachukwu said for over 10 months all the concerned communities have been without power supply.

Victor Nwachukwu threatened that they will continue to occupy PHED office in Oyigbo, until their power supply is connected back to Komkom feeder and power supply restored back to the affected areas unconditionally.

He explained that all the affected communities were major producers of gas, which is used in the generation of power at Afam power plants and other areas.

They protesters urged the management of PHED PHED to do the needful, in order to avoid breakdown of law and order in the area.

As at the time of filing this report, the management of PHED was yet to respond to the protest carried out by their customers in Oyigbo.

THE MAN WITH NO FRIEND ON THE JOURNEY TO POLITICAL CLIMATE:Membis247

One man brought Modi Sheriff as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, the party spent over 8 months in court until he was removed by the Supreme Court.  This same man brought Uche Secondus as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, Secondus was eventually removed.  The same man actively supported Iyorcha Ayu as National Chairman of PDP. When he realized that Ayu would not work for his agenda, he started fighting him to be removed. And once again, Ayu had to go for peace to reign.  Same man Brought Sim Fubara as his successor and is now fighting him.  Only one man bringing people and fighting them.  Once you do not exist to serve his agenda and ambition, you are useless to him, and he will start fighting you.  Someone that was in his mid-30s when he was handpicked by Peter Odili to be an aide and later a Local Government Chairman now refers to Odili and his wife as “one man and woman”.

Lagos State Police Personnel's Spreading Bullet Across The Lekki toll Gate Now:Membis247Blog

Four protesters were detained by members of the Lagos State Police Command on Thursday at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos. The young people had gathered at the Lekki tollgate to commemorate the second national #EndSARS protest memorial. Youths from all around the nation protested in the streets in October 2020 to call for an end to extrajudicial killings by the defunct elite anti-robbery squad and police abuse (SARS). The tollgate was the epicentre of the protests. Youths who gathered day and night at the tollgate were dispersed from the location by gun-wielding soldiers on October 20, 2020, an action which led to the loss of lives. Meanwhile, the security operatives also assaulted journalists covering the event. One of the protesters who spoke to SaharaReporters said, “The police have arrested four people despite the fact that everything is being done peacefully here. They are using tear gas and hot water to disperse peaceful protesters. Journalists were also assaulted,” he said.
