There was heavy security presence yesterday (Tuesday, August 6) at the HyperCity Malls owned by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike and his private residence along Ada-George Road, in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
Â
Security was beefed up following the reaction by angry #EndBadGovernance protesters, who chanted, “HyperCity money is our money.”
Â
Though they could not come close to the minister’s residence because of heavy security presence, the aggrieved protesters maintained their chantings that it was Rivers money that was used in building the edifice.
Â
The presence of policemen prevented the protesters from carrying out any ulterior plan to attack the private residence of the former governor or the HyperCity malls.
Â
Policemen cordoned off the area with an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), thereby preventing the protesters from going close to the walls of the house.
Â
The entire stretch of Wike’s house is located directly opposite the Ada George Police Station, causing the protesters to abandon any attack plan, if they had any.
Â
The development caused tension in several parts of Port Harcourt and its environs, as the protesters staged protest simultaneously in different parts of the state capital.
Â
However, security was beefed up across government facilities across the state capital to prevent a breakdown of law and order.
