The mayhem unleashed by
some unscrupulous commercial bikers in Eket and Onna on innocent women and
girls is worthy of attention.
It’s a well known fact
that some criminals among the commercial bikers generally called “OKADA” in Eket/Onna
Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, consistently molested, abused, and robbed women and girls by offering to
carry them to their requested location on specific amount and only to corner them
on gun point to an isolated area behind a petrol filling station along Eket/Onna
road; few kilometers away from the Eket/Onna bridge, that has been under
construction by Gitto Construction Company for the past 5 years.
Several women and girls
who have fall victim to the unfortunate situation refused to tell anyone
including the police for fear of stigmatization. On visiting the scene of the
crime after a married woman whose name is withheld deem it fit to narrate the sad
situation she found herself, women and girls belongings were found littered everywhere
in an open field deep inside the bush far away from the main road, among the
items included: used condoms, ATM Cards, hand watches, perfumes, jewelries,
shoes, etc.
Police in charge of the
said area should do something immediately, because much harm has been done
already.
