Nigeria - Governor Nyesom Wike has yesterday came down hard on the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), Adamu Abubakar, accusing him of ‘sabotaging’ the lockdown imposed on Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor local councils to check the spread of the novel coronavirus in Rivers State.
According to him, the police chief “is issuing illegal letters to companies to defy the curfew.”
Asserting that there could not be two governors at a time in the state, Wike declared that the over 200 persons arrested for breaching his executive order, and the over 20 vehicles impounded by enforcement teams, would face the full weight of the law, while the seized automobiles would be auctioned.
The governor, who was monitoring compliance levels at both councils, said: “It was unfortunate the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, in the state would issue letters to companies to operate in defiance of the executive order of the state government,” warning that there can never be two governors in Rivers.
He restated that any approvals issued outside his office remained illegal.
