He said: “Until now, Ughelli has been a heaven for SARS operatives who have been harassing and molesting us.
“We were supposed to protest to the Ughelli Police Area Command, but we decided to change our plans because we would not want to have a confrontation with the police, hence we have decided to just demonstrate along the major roads of Ughelli.”
