Economic activities were paralysed on Monday following a mass protest by women and young girls of Abraka community, Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State. 

The protest was against the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the area, SP Fabian Ayameh over his men's failure to frontally curb the incessant cases of kidnapping and insecurity.

The women and girls numbering over 500 barricaded the busy Abraka junction, chanting songs of frustration, causing hours of gridlock and leaving motorists and passengers stranded.

The protesting women and girls armed with placards with different inscriptions such as “End Kidnapping in Abraka,” “Enough is Enough,” “DPO Must Go,” and “Hardship Is Unbearable,” called for urgent action to address the worsening security situation, which they described as unbearable and traumatising.

The women who marched through major streets of the Abraka, as they accused the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Abraka Police Station, SP Fabian Ayameh, of failure to adequately address the incessant cases of kidnapping and the insecurity and demanded the immediate removal of the DPO from the community.

SaharaReporters reliably gathered that some of the women and girls who danced half-naked to press home their demands, accused the police officer of extortion from young boys to fund his alleged extravagant lifestyle while criminals continued to have a field day in the community.

According to the protesters, the frequent attacks by gunmen and criminals as well as abductions occurred almost on a daily basis, claiming that the insecurity had forced many residents to relocate to neighbouring communities which grossly affected the economy and social development of the community.

The protesters noted that the local police had not lived up to expectations and called on the Delta State governor, Sheriff Oborevwori and the state Commissioner of Police to intervene by redeploying the DPO and putting in place security measures in the community. 

They added that swift action was urgently needed to restore peace and revitalise economic activities in their community.
