The people of Omuokiri Aluu Community have begun to count their losses after students from the University of Port Harcourt embarked on a reprisals attack to avenge the killings of their colleagues. The angry students stormed the community, burnt some houses, cars and other property over the torture and murder of their colleagues.

Masquerade234 gathered that few of the indigenes were seen bemoaning their losses. One of the leaders of the community, Sunday Ahanonu, said he had lost all he laboured for to the students’ reprisals. Ahanonu, whose house was torched by the students, expressed shock that security agents could not stop the rampaging students when they stormed the community.

Sixty-five-year-old Ahanonu and father of 15 children, worked at UNIPORT for 35 years before he retired.

He appealed to the state government and the management of the university to compensate him for the destruction of his property, adding that he and members of his family were not involved in the killings of the students.
