Neglect of Oil Producing Region Breeds Violence: 18 Killed in Port-Harcourt There seems to be no end in sight to the armed groups’ clashes in Port Harcourt where 18 people were feared killed in the latest fight Tuesday night. Scores of people died in earlier clashes over the last two weeks. Gov. Peter Odili who had been holidaying abroad returned home yesterday to take charge of the situation. He immediately dissolved his cabinet and ordered 24-hour security watch in Port Harcourt. In the latest round of bullets exchange, members of one of the armed groups were said to have invaded a restaurant on Warri-Abak Street at about 9p.m. Tuesday and opened fire on patrons. Nine people died on the spot. (Vanguard) Transvestite trial the talk...   El-Rufai Must Go...
