Popular singer, Timi Dakolo has come out to raise alarm over the increase in black soot in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Recall that the black soot blamed on illegal bunkering and gas flaring, was first noticed in parts of Port Harcourt and some neighbouring local government areas like Eleme, Oyigbo, Ikwere, Obio/akpor in 2016.

Reacting, Timi shared photos of people’s feet, palms, hands covered in black dust and called on residents to speak up amid the situation.

His words, “This is not funny!!! This is not fair. This is deep wickedness,”

“The devastating effect of this soot will be felt for years to come ,so let’s not sit back and keep quiet.”

“It is Our port harcourt. Dear port harcourt people. Them no Dey manage bad thing.
We must do something NOW!!! @unitednations @unep HELP”
