The attempts by soldiers last week to forcibly remove security men and women from Amama Security, a private security firm, owned by Niger Delta activist, Mujahid Dokubo Asari, which has been providing security on the dangerous Emohua-Kalabari road, is raising concern among locals and other users of the road.
National Point investigations reveal that the men who have provided badly needed security services on that road since September, 2022 during funeral rites for four-time minister, Alabo T. O. Graham- Douglas in Abonnema from September 8, 2022, face threat of removal from their positions on the stretch of the road. Last week, a major confrontation between Asari’s security men played out when a group of soldiers attempted to dislodge and disarm Asari’s male and female security personnel on the road but were rebuffed.
Many road users and locals are concerned as the authorities have failed to provide security on that road, leading to the kidnaping of scores of road users and the killing of a bus driver in 2022.
A military checkpoint has been in place for many years at the T-Junction that leads to Buguma on the left and Obuama/Degema/Abonnema on the right, yet the kidnaps and killings on the road persisted for years.
