On a day the world marked the 2020 World Human Rights Day, the atmosphere in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, was so irreconcilable with the spirit of the day.
That fateful Thursday, in Rukpokwu, Obio Akpor Local Government Area (LGA), an edgy Police Inspector shot dead a tricycle driver, Chukwuma Ikechi, aka School Boy, at dawn over alleged failure to yield to N100 checkpoint extortion.
In the collateral damage trailing the brutal murder, two more persons were feared dead as police bullets flew in desperate repelling of an angry mob’s attempt to burn down the Rumuokoro Police Station under whose jurisdiction the trigger happy Inspector shot School Boy.

4 feared dead in scramble for Christmas palliatives in PH
Four persons were feared dead, while many others were injured during scramble for Christmas palliatives on Tuesday morning at the Rumuodara community, a suburb of Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.
It was learnt that people in and around the community had in their thousands stormed an event centre in the area where a non-governmental organization, was distributing items to its members from Ikwerre, Emohua and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas of the state as early as 8 am.
Due to poor crowd management and the surge of persons who were not invited, the situation got out of control, leading to a stampede during which some persons fell and were trampled upon while others sustained injuries.
