He argued the fact that some corporate bodies were given license to go about their daily activities, which led to some of them flouting thea Rivers State government order on lockdown.
“You order poor masses who survive on daily pay to lockdown, but you give corporate bodies license to go about their daily activities and flout a Rivers State government order on lockdown. We can’t let them go free, we would not punish the poor and give excuses for the rich” he said.
It could be recalled that River state recorded it’s first corona virus case sometime in February 27th, 2020.
