Rivers state Governor Nyesom Wike on Sunday, carried out his threat of demolishing any hotel in the state that flouts the lockdown order as he personally supervised the demolition of the two hotels.
The hotels were demolished for allegedly violating the lockdown order in the state.
The affected hotels are: Prodest Hotel in Alode and Etemeteh Hotel in Onne – both in Eleme Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
Duaglobalnews recalls that the governor had earlier directed officials of the Local Government Task Force to identify hotels operating during the lockdown for demolition.
The governor, who inaugurated the task force on Thursday last week at the Government House, Port Harcourt, also asked the officials to identify erring beer parlours for appropriate sanction.
He warned that those who failed to comply with the government’s directives on measures put in place to curb the spread of coronavirus in Rivers would face the consequences.
