They have poured in their condolences and tears but left their rhetoric erect and dangerous. When opponents become cockroaches, murder becomes mere pest control. When demon possess elephants in a fight even trees are not spared. Soldiers have also been mowed down. Port Harcourt is now the garden of bloodletting.
