A group of women staged a protest in Port Harcourt, calling for an immediate end to what they described as an ‘illegal state of emergency’ in Rivers State.
The protesters are demanding the removal of the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju; the immediate and total end of the emergency rule in the state; the full restoration of democratic institutions; and the reinstatement of the duly elected Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and his Deputy, Ngozi Odu.
They also called for the redeployment of military personnel to regions of the country where they are truly needed, areas where citizens are being killed and communities devastated by terrorists.
Wednesday’s protest marks the fourth demonstration in the state involving women from both pro-Fubara and pro-Wike factions.
On Monday, protests were stage in two different locations in the state.
While one group protested against the emergency rule, the other protested in support of the state of emergency while backing the sole administrator.
