The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday ordered the arrest of two more violators of the lockdown of Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas of the state.
Speaking while monitoring the compliance level in the two LGAs, Wike explained that the suspected violators would be prosecuted by the Office of the Attorney General and tested by officials of the Rivers State Ministry of Health.
The governor also inspected the state isolation centre, where the mobile courts would try another set of violators arrested by the state task force and security agencies enforcing the lockdown.
