  • Marcel Okafor, \u201cThose guys were armed and they disrupted a lot of businesses. They should have rather engaged in constructive dialogue with the government instead of this and their agendas should be for employment and job creation, the reduction of crime, and visible\/effective and efficient public order policing.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>
