Wike warned that those, who refused to comply with the established orders and restrictions would be arrested and prosecuted for deliberately endangering themselves and the lives of others.
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has suspended the total lockdown of Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt Local Government Areas for six days, with effect from Thursday.
“It is important to emphasized that the relaxation only allows for free human and vehicular movements and the opening of limited businesses, such as banks, supermarkets, shopping malls and grocery shops. “The wearing of face masks or coverings in public spaces, including commercial and private vehicles remains compulsory as contraveners would be arrested and summarily dealt with as the law demands”.
Wike reassured residents that the government was determined more than ever to do everything to fight against the spread of Covid-19 pandemic in Rivers State.
