Delta Transport Ministry, Call Taskforce Personnel to Order
By Jude I Ojiugo-Onochie
For People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that has been complaining the security situation in the Country needed to be improved upon, what is happening in Delta State, that is controlled by People’s Democratic Party is alarming and worrisome.
This is a state which claims to adhere strictly to due process and means of engaging in activities in a decent manner, but that strong reputation, the State credit to herself has been betrayed.
A new group known as Taskforce on Ministry of Transport has been constituting nuisance in Okpanam, Asaba, the Delta State Capital, all in the name of checkmating the movement of tricycles (Kekenapep) operators from illegal parking. The heinous activities of these outlaws, which range from illegal collection/ extortion of money from innocent, and law abiding citizens, is becoming too unbearable for Kekenapep operators.
They do not end their criminal/ eviI acts on that note, they go as far as seizing those Kekenapep, take them to their notorious offices, or corners/ hidden joints where they collect huge sums of money from their victims.
The question that the citizens in Asaba and it’s environs in Delta State Capital, are asking is whether these outlaws, hooligans and miscreants are being hired by People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to compensate them for their support to the party.
With the trend of things , there is fear and apprehension by Kekenapep operators, to go about their economic activities of transport which aid commerce.
Even, the most disturbing aspect of it is that, the outlaws are now more or less impersonating police and sister security Agents in the State Capital.
In normal climes , only police personnel have the assignment of making arrest, when they see people engage in wrong doing.
This is an act, the police hierarchy in the State must not treat with levity, if these miscreants are allowed to continue this way , the law abiding citizens are in serious trouble.
