🚨 STOP ETHNIC VIOLENCE IN PORT HARCOURT 🚨
What happened in Port Harcourt, particularly in Igwuruta and around Eleme Junction, is deeply disturbing and unacceptable.
Reports indicate that Northern traders were attacked, their shops looted and burned, and one life was tragically lost during what was described as an “Aboki Must Go” protest.
Let it be clear:
Nigeria belongs to ALL of us.
No citizen should be threatened, attacked, or driven out of any state because of tribe, religion, or region. Criminality has no ethnicity. Blaming an entire group for the actions of a few individuals is unjust and dangerous.
Millions of Nigerians from the South live peacefully in northern states. Likewise, Northerners have built their businesses and lives in southern cities for decades. This coexistence must not be destroyed by hate or misinformation.
We call for:
✅ Immediate arrest of those responsible
✅ Full investigation and lawful prosecution
✅ Compensation for affected traders
✅ Strong security presence to prevent further violence
Violence against innocent traders is not protest it is injustice.
Let us reject division.
Let us reject collective blame.
Let us protect one another.
🇳🇬 Unity is stronger than hate.
