Rivers Laments Death of COVID-19 Task Force Member
· US-based Group hails state’s efforts to curtail spread of virusRivers State Government has expressed sadness over the death of one of the members of the state COVD-19 task force attacked by suspected thugs at Prodest Hotel in Alode, Eleme Local Government Area of the state last Saturday.
Irked by the incident, the state government declared Osaroejiji wanted and placed a N5 million bounty on information leading to his arrest. The state also demolished the hotel and Onne-based Etemeteh hotels for violating the state’s Executive Order 6 which barred hotels and guest houses from operating or face demolition. The demolition drew mixed reactions as some person felt the action was too drastic while others said it was in order.
“Having demolished that hotel, Governor Wike has approved that a primary school be constructed at that location to serve Rivers people. This is what a responsive government will do. “These are facts that the political analysts have turned away from. They have allowed their political enmity with Governor Wike to override their objective judgment.”
He listed other states that had done even more grievous things and noted that their actions did not attract criticism because they were governed by members of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
