Port Harcourt, Nigeria – A wave of frustration spilled onto the streets this morning as teachers and students of Government Senior Secondary School (GSSS) Elekahia protested in front of the palace of His Royal Highness, Eze Anthony Worlu Akarolo, the Elekahia King. The demonstration was sparked by a series of relentless burglaries targeting the school, carried out by unidentified individuals.
According to the school’s principal, Mrs. Ngozi Amadi, this marks the fourth break-in at GSSS Elekahia in less than a year. The latest incident saw thieves make off with critical items, including NYSC files, the school’s time book, past student testimonials, chairs, buckets, student results, and registers. The repeated losses have left the school community reeling and desperate for action.
The protesters are appealing directly to Eze Akarolo, urging the traditional ruler to intervene and provide security measures to safeguard the institution. Their chants and placards underscored a growing demand for protection against the ongoing threat.
Reporters from *Port Harcourt Page* visited the school earlier today to verify the situation, witnessing firsthand the aftermath of the burglaries and the palpable tension among staff and students. As the demonstration unfolds, all eyes are on the palace, awaiting a response to this pressing community crisis.
