Chairman Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, Hon.Samuel Nwanosike has vowed to maintain all the directives issued by the State Governor, Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, as measures to contain the spread of Coronavirus in the state. Hon Nwanosike, who led the members of the Ikwerre LGA COVID-19 Sensitisation and Monitoring Team on inspections, stated that there would not be any amount of blackmail or criticism that will make him allow anyone to float the directives issued by the governor and him. The council boss monitored places like Omagwa, Elele, Omerelu and Isiokpo. While at Omerelu, the Chairman and his COVID-19 Team charged the security operatives manning the Rivers State and Imo State boundary never to allow any vehicle or someone cross into the state again. On the process, some vehicles were impounded and the passengers arrested and taken to Elele Police Station. Similarly, motorcycle operators were stopped, commercial vehicles carrying more than ten people were forced to comply with the directive given by the state's Commissioner of Transport, and markets were stopped from holding. Hon.Nwanosike admonished the people of his LGA not to see his act as wickedness, but as means of preventing them from contracting the deadly virus. He added that this difficult time will soon be a thing of the past as long as the people adhere to instructions.
