The Rivers state government on Sunday demolished 2 hotels in Eleme local government area for flouting the executive order on COVID-19 that suspends the operations of all hotels, guest houses and other related businesses.
Governor Nyesom wike who personally supervised the demolition of the 2 hotels says he hopes the demolition will serve as a deterrent to all those who want to endanger the lives of people in the state because of their personal gains.
Matters came to a head on saturday when members of the local task force sent to ensure that the hotel was closed down, were beaten up.
