Twitter users have taken it upon themselves to collaborate with the protesters who marched on Monday to campaign for the protection of girls and women in Port Harcourt following the recent killing of a young girl in a hotel.

The incident which happened in a hotel situated in Obo Road, Omoku, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State has stirred a lot of reactions among Nigerians both offline and online

An eyewitness, who simply identified himself as Peter said, “The girl is just a teenager, we found her corpse lying with her clothes yesterday evening in the hotel room. Her killer was nowhere to be found. Her hands were tied behind her back with a white cloth, as well as her legs and neck.”

Her death was just one in a series of killings of women in PH hotels in recent time, hence Twitter users are demanding that security operatives should do more to protect women and girls within the city.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Administration, Chuks Enwonwu, while addressing protesters condemned the happenings and also advised young women to shun prostitution as a means to curb this occurrence.

“In as much as societal values are disintegrating, we must go back to try to educate them (women) and discourage them from going into prostitution because that is how they fall victim to these crimes”, he said.
