Reactions Trail Recent Killing Of Females In Rivers State - OGFUNDS BLOG

In a recent development, many females have been killed in the same manner in different hotels in Rivers state. So many people have seen these killingsas that of a serial killer on the loose. These killings have led to different protest in Port Harcourt especially where it has been rampant, 9 girls have been killed with the killer opera modus being, luring the ladies into a hotel, strangling them and tying their mouth with a white handkerchief and their legs also with white clothing. With the last killing on Monday, citizens are calling for a shutdown of hotels where the killings happened.

In a recent tweet by @girls_port I quote
"We are at Ibinabo Hotel, the place where the recent victim's body was discovered and we are saying.
Hotels have a part to play in this too.
Hotels are responsible for the safety of their guests and should be held accountable."

Also, online vendors have been advised not to do delivery in hotels, because some ladies killed are online vendors who were tricked to deliver products in hotels. Also, some ladies have taken protests to the government house so actions can be taken, however, nothing has been heard from the government.

"Bringing this to your awareness again!
NEVER DELIVER ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS BY YOURSELF OR ANYONE IN AN HOTEL!
They normally use someone as baits to gain trust!"

In reaction to this event, the former head of the Nigeria PoliceComplaint Response Unit, Abayomi Shogunle, took to his Twitter handle to educate girls on howto avoid being killed by a serial killer in a hotel. He dropped some tips on what he tagged #Ysguide. This tweet is as seen below:

"Babe Stay Woke!
As you move into a hotel to lodge with a man friend (new/old), remember to tell the gateman AND receptionist WE CAME IN TOGETHER, PLEASE DONT ALLOW HIM TO LEAVE IF I AM NOT WITH HIM.
That should neutralize any potential bad intention.#YSguide Personal Safety."

However, some people saw his tweet as just motivational words that have no impact on solving the issues at hand while some advised the tip should be taken seriously as it can be helpful.
