A concerned resident in the area, Chief Akpojotor Adjarho, who spoke to journalists, noted that it was no longer safe for people to move freely with their valuables in the Warri Garage area and Lower Erejuwa Road in Warri due to the nefarious activities of hoodlums, even in broad day light.

He appealed to relevant authorities, particularly the police, Nigerian Army and other security operatives to make the flash points safe for law abiding citizens in the area.
