Anti-Amaechi Protests Paralyse Port Harcourt, Airport and Oil Installations all blocked by rioters.

Hundreds of men, women and youths drawn from four Ikwerre speaking local government areas of Emohua, Obio Akpor, Port Harcourt city and Ikwerre of Rivers State have barricaded the ever busy Aba/Port Harcourt road, thereby causing serious traffic grid lock in major streets of Port Harcourt, in the morning of January 21, 2014, Tuesday.

The protesters comprising youths, young and elderly men and women barricaded the popular G.R.A. junction of Port Harcourt, a development that made motorists to spend more than two hours on a grid lock which spanned up to the Isaac Boro park.
The protesters were carrying placards which bore inscriptions such as "We will not stand by impunity, leave Mbu alone", "International Airport will be shut down if Mbu leaves Rivers State", "I.G. thanks for giving us Mbu", "South South man cannot betray his brother, we love Jonathan", "Jonathan will come in 2015".
These crowds were guarded by the team of anti riot policemen led by a chief Superintendent of police, David Osuani. The protesters who took over the entire stretch of Aba/Port Harcourt road up to NDDC secretariat sang solidarity songs in praise of President Goodluck Jonathan, the supervising Minster of Education, Nyesom Wike and Rivers State commissioner of police, Joseph Mbu.
