Some residents of Port Harcourt City Local Government Area of Rivers State, have expressed shock over what they described as dark rainfall in their areas, due to illegal oil refining.
The residents, who said such activity is endangering their lives, called on Federal and state governments to find a lasting solution to the menace.
One of the residents who pleaded anonymity, said almost everyone in Port Harcourt treats malaria every two weeks due to black soot.
“Everything is not money , Federal and State government should treat bunkery activities as a case of urgency. We can’t be suffering due to the activities of few miscreants, almost every one in PH treats malaria every two weeks,” he said.
He called on security operatives to live up to expectation and arrest those involved in such illegal activity.
