SECURITY operatives continued the raid on Umuokiri-Aluu community for the second day running on Monday in search of members of the vigilance group accused of lynching four male undergraduate students of the University of Port Harcourt.
This is just as the university has declared seven days of mourning in honour of its students mobbed to death by the vigilance group in Aluu on Friday.
It will be recalled that men of the Joint Task Force (JTF) entered Umuokiri-Aluu on Sunday and arrested 13 suspects, including the traditional ruler who allegedly ordered the killing of the students accused of armed robbery.
Nigerian Tribune observed that the community has virtually been deserted as residents have continued to leave en masse in fear of rumoured reprisal by students of the University of Port Harcourt.
Shops and businesses were closed and very few people were seen along the street of the once busy community. None of the few remaining residents agreed to talk to journalists.
Meanwhile, authorities of the University of Port Harcourt have declared seven days of mourning in honour of three of the four victims of the Aluu mob action.
