Some boys reportedly working with the Chairman of Eleme Local Government Area, Philip Okparaji have resumed dredging activities under the Akpajo bridge months after the Rivers State Government banned it to curtail further depletion of the already shaky bridge currently undergoing some maintenance works

But when the Holygist visited the bridge Friday, the site was bursting with full dredging activities and our correspondent counted over 10 trucks leave the river within the one hour he spent there, a situation which ordinarily made him question if the council Chairman was aware of what was happening and the potential threat the dredging posed for motorists who utilise the bridge daily.
“Chairman dey very aware na of wetin dey happen,” one of the boys doing business on the site told the Holygist in pidgin.


“In dey come here every week come collect meat for this slaughter (pointing at a mini slaughter by the riverside). So in dey see us anytime him show”.
A labourer who simply identified himself as Bura confided in the Holygist that the Chairman had failed to enforce the stoppage of the activity as his boys as the one primarily engaged in it as settlement for their loyalty to him.

Bura also alleged the Eleme Council is not only aware of the operation of the boys but receives weekly reports and returns from them.
Efforts to reach the Eleme Council Chairman to react to the accusation were not successful as he failed to answer calls and respond to messages sent to his phone.
Our correspondent reports that men of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) were seen fixing a pothole on a section of the bridge.

Exactly. that's how our darling Star Boy pastor turned rogue within 5 years.
