•Koka under bridge, now home for miscreants.

Delta State grapples with balancing human rights with public safety as squatters swell under Asaba overpass.
It’s 8:12am and traffic on the Asaba-Onitsha Highway is already heavy. Above, vehicles race across Koka Flyover. Underside, on bare concrete, men are just waking up. More had left earlier. Mats are rolled. Bedspreads folded. A few polythene bags with clothes are tucked to one side.
No cooking pots. No heavy luggage. Just the barest safeguards needed to push back mosquitoes and cold through the night. By evening, they’ll be back.
