The Rivers state government, one of the states in the south-sourthern regions in Nigeria, has pulled down Prodest Hotel, Eleme, and Etemeteh Hotel, Onne, for allegedly violating the lockdown directives.

Confiance News gathered from Twitter on Sunday.

Nyesom Wike, the governor, had imposed a lockdown and directed all hotels in the state to suspend services immediately as parts of measures to check the spread of COVID-19.

The governor had warned residents that failure to comply with the order would attract stiff penalties.

On Sunday afternoon, Wike was said to have personally supervised the demolition of the hotel in Eleme while other government officials headed to Onne.
