A known criminal hideout described as a small shanty town in Eleme Local Government Area in Rivers State has been demolished by the council chairman, Obarilomate Ollor.
The criminal hideout which is situated beside Aleto Bridge, along the Eleme axis of the East-West road is largely occupied by homeless cart pushers, drug addicts, scavengers/collectors of non-perishable wastes and other deviants who allegedly attack motorists and passers-by at nights with dangerous weapons.
Ollor who described Aleto bridge as a major gateway into Eleme local government area and the entire Rivers South-East Senatorial District frowned at the activities of these deviants which do not only deface the environment but also distorts its landscape and pollute the surrounding waterbody thus, threatening the safety and security of investors.
He reinstated his stance in making Eleme an investors safe haven and vowed to rid the place of every security threat.
The council boss further warned land owners who have allowed their properties to be an enclave to for criminals within Eleme to desist forthwith or have such properties confiscated in accordance with the law.
In a related development, the council Chairman
in company with the Manager of Setraco Nigeria Limited, Engr. Michel Issa visited bad spots along the Port Harcourt to Eleme old Bori road at Aleto to profer lasting solution to the failed portion of the road while awaiting full-scale government intervention.
