Town criers appeal for return of looted properties

Community leaders in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, have engaged the services of town criers to move into streets and neighbourhoods to appeal to those who participated in the 2-day looting spree of public and private properties in Calabar.

In most part of Monday, the town criers moved about despite the 24-hour curfew imposed by Governor Ben Ayade to check wanton destruction and looting.

The town criers moved round from as early as 5 am, saying “All those who looted the properties of Senators Victor Ndoma Egba, Gershom Bassey and others, should drop them on the road. This is the order of the community.”
