Meanwhile many have questioned the main reason behind the sealing of their shops. Some  of those affected  have claimed thier shops have nothing to do with the promotion of insecurity.  One of the shop owners said: “I deal in food stuffs, I don’t sell beer, I don’t sell alcohol”.


The inhabitants to an extent, have placed the blame on the forces of security who according to them do not detain criminals handed over to them by the population properly.
