-Imposed Ghost Town
Mbengwi the headquarters of Momo Division, in the North West
Region, has failed to pick steam after observing a ghost town on Monday, owing
to fear of the unknown.
The
Median gathered that inhabitants emerged from their homes early Tuesday to
resume activities but everything came to a standstill as information surfaced
from the unfamiliar ordering businesses to shut down.
A
source confirmed that the information which made rounds that morning said
activities could only resume at 3:00pm same Tuesday.
The
same source confirmed that the information was neither coming from Government
officials or security forces. Our source maintained sealed lips over whether it
was separatist fighters who ordered for such.
“Today,
inhabitants came out to commence commercial activities only for information to
come in that they should shut down and only open at 3:00pm. It is not the
Government that has asked for a shutdown. No reasons have been advanced,” our
source stated.
Tuesday’s
development came in the wake of a difficult weekend in the Divisional
headquarter. Since Saturday, January 19 to Tuesday, bikes have gone out of
circulation in Mbengwi.
Yet, no
one has claimed responsibility for issuing such orders.
Over
the same weekend, Government Technical High School, GTHS Mbengwi mostly
constructed with funds from the local population was set ablaze.
