Hoodlums, including commercial s*x
workers, have taken over the Delta
Centre, Asaba, leaving 40 sewing
machines and 60 computers allegedly
stolen.
The skill acquisition centre built by
the wife of the former governor of
the state, Mrs. Nkoyo Ibori, in 1999 is
at present, a shadow of itself.
It is located behind the legislative
quarters along Nnebisi Okpanam
Road, Asaba, and has allegedly been
harbouring all sorts of miscreants,
including commercial s*x workers,
who during nightfall, have converted
many of the rooms into s*x slaughter
slabs.
Investigation revealed that armed
hoodlums broke into the centre and
allegedly carted away vital
equipments.
The state Police Commissioner, Alkali
Baba Usman who confirmed the
incident, said the hoodlums gained
entrance into the centre while the
security guards were asleep, adding
that two of the guards have been
arrested and are currently helping the
police for further investigation.
Reacting to the issue, the State
Commissioner for Women Affairs and
Social Development, Mrs. Shola
Williams, expressed regret on the
state of affairs at the centre, especially
with the set of broken chairs and dirty
environment.
While describing the environment as
a serious apology, the commissioner
confirmed that the skill acquisition
centre was an eyesore, saying, “The
Centre is completely a mess and all
the equipment have been stolen. No
students can be admitted to learn any
craft of their choice; it is completely
in shambles.”
Williams, however, assured that the
state government would do something
to bring the centre back to shape.
