Lockdown Order: Wike Demolishes Two Hotels In Rivers

Governor Nyesom Wike supervises the demolition of a hotel in Rivers State on May 10, 2020.The Rivers State Government has demolished two hotels in the state allegedly for violating the lockdown order in the state.

The affected hotels are Prodest Hotel in Alode and Etemeteh Hotel in Onne – both in Eleme Local Government Area of the state.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

I pity his people supporting the devilish act , he is the judge , prosecutor... when everything settles he will still use your RIVER STATE cash to settle the owner of the hotel's. Wasted fund because of no wisdom. MR GOVERNOR 🤮🙄

I wonder if it was the building that violated the warning or the management. He cut the head for aching. Tyranny.

Is corona on break for 2 days to resume after 12th and 13th. Nwike is exercising maximum autocracy in a do called democratic government. He has done far worse than corona virus will ever do in Rivers state. People should simply grow some ball and stand up

Nwike is not fighting covid 19, he's simply power drunk and displaying the behaviour of a mad man dancing in the market place. If it's actually covid, he's protecting against, why releasing them on 12th and 13th, and then going back to lockdown on 14th?

Nwike is a typical of insane ruler in an insane society. Unfortunately, there's no government at the higher level to call anyone to order cos they don't exist. Nigerians, should stand up to these beasts and defend themselves if any meaningful change is anticipated to

If Na me he demolished my hotel I would order ayelala for him

Impeach wike.

I'm disappointed for the action you took in demolishing people's structures and you where not wearing nose mask you should be persecuted.

Ile Oba to jo na .....

Since this is Wike that did some people will find it hard to comment, what if Buhari demolish a hotel boom !

I described this act as barbaric, yes there was an administrative instruction order by the governor, is still not a law,is only an administrative instruction which should be adhere to,demolishing a property is totally out of it,other punishment measure could have been applied

All of you saying rubbish from your mouths please were you expecting people who are in the state for business to sleep? Should they sleep on the streets during the lockdown? These hotels cannot be on lockdown. Please we should learn to think before we act and speak.

Power is in its toxic form.

This is uncalled for and it's not the right thing to do in the law.

Every haters of ndigbo is now forming on another peoples matter. What if these hotels operating under lockdown is entertaining guests with convid 19, is the hotels bigger than the lives going to be destroyed by the virus in rivers.

The Governor has become tyrannical. He is a bully .

This picture does po tray justice. It shows a destroyer.

In a country where resources aren't enough,we destroy! this can't happen in sane countries. If you think this act is fair then you're a problem to your household and the country at large.

Instead of demolishing them use them as isolation centers until the pandemic is over!

Must the hotel be demolished? Aren’t there other measures that can be deployed to punish the offenders? This is not wisdom for me. The state government can make more money from this kind of situations than waste. It’s so unfortunate how our leaders think.

Do we needs to go this far. What for? why not close it down with Government seal; and let them pay ransom later after the Lock Down is lifted. What about the workers in those 2 hotel, how do you expected them to continue their living after the Lock Down.

Governor Wike Demolition of hotels is quite unfortunate and overreaction. Though, they disobeyed the government directives and attacked covid 19 official. Wike would have sanctions them or closed down the hotels or convert it to isolation center instead of Demolition.

Thank God wike claim to be a lawyer,his actions display and portrayed him as gangster lunatic.

Overzealousness can be dangerous at times, demolishing buildings, building blocking bridges, and getting people killed all in the name of fighting corona, is not the best options, life will go on after this pandemic

This is pure wickedness

Impatient Govt

My simple answer is that Law is law. Wike did the right thing. What does Lagos quarantine law says..What are the people of the state waiting 4 immediately Wike issue statemt on d quarantine law to kick against it ..we shouldn't treat issues with in a partisan manner

This is the only part they are good at, they are not good at giving palliative measures to reduce the burden on the small businesses affected by the pandemic lockdown!

Funny how two hotels are now important than the live of those been infected and dying of COVID-19. If the poor lady who sales daily on the street to feed is in her house why should a hotel be open ? Seven cases in the state came form a hotel so why ?

Madness at its peak

God will reward every individual according to his deed

In as much everyone is tongue lashing GovWike . You need to know how animalistic people can be in conduct. It should serve as deterrent to stubborn individual

I thought good governance is ensuring positive dividends for your citizens, protecting them and avoiding waste. The mind boggles at this mindless action. If ever someone advises this governor, which I doubt, they should learn to look at total pictures and consequences in acting.

GovWike needs a lesson in Civics ans Civility. Power has turned him mad

Could have issued fine or jail the hotel owner instead of this wasteful and destructive act. Senseless power miss road idiots.

As they no dey hear word na🤷

The Nigeria lockdown is the biggest joke regarding the coronavirus pandemic crisis.

Wike is going too extreme

If he didn't take all this measures these same people will say he is weak, he doesn't not care now Noah wants to save the people and they are shouting is too much na. Go do drug in Saudi Arabia or Dubai then you will no know that Development is as a result of law enforcement

Se Corona will not end ni.this is crazy.there re several ways to punish people. Nonsense

When falz sang 'This is Nigeria', we thought his head was overheating😂; now can we see that? Soon they'll come out to say we lack isolation centers but God just dashed you a big hotel Lawless Country Try that in any civilized country and pay for 10 hotels Wtf?

An African Proverb: No Matter How Mosquito Bite Pain U Won't Use Hammer to Kill it. The Hoteliers Have Done Wrong &Should be Punished But the Government Should think of Beta Punishments dat have Economic Benefits to the State &Temper Justice with Mercy Not Wickedness in Ordering.

It is not easy to build but it is easy to destroy . YOUR EXCELLENCY YOU GOT WRONG When you would have fined the owner of the HOTEL or take other measures .

you can imagine the level of insensitivity, are we in military era, did he think of the source of livelihood of those employees after this whole covid19 is over, I weep when I c people applaud his actions, we've really lost it in this country, God is watching

This is simply killing a mosquito with a sledge hammer. Crazy

This is abysmally abysmal. I condemn this in strongest terms possible. He should have converted it to an Isolation centre. This is gross human right abuse.

The guy is a tour and a moron. Is it that too bad to take a life or property because you are protecting people from the Coronavirus pandemic? Or is there something we don't know about this ugly sight? This needs to be investigated to determine if the governor has gone insane.

Demolishing is not right, rather the offenders should have been arrested prosecuted. HE who is a lawyer should have tower the path of lawful civility

This isn't leadership. After the demolition of the hotel will the owners be sued for disobeying the lockdown order or Jungle justice have taken it place... Leaders must be strict but human sympathy is paramount when it comes to surviving

NyesomWlKE you failed this time. 😪😪😪

What kind of wicked act of injustice is this! Wetin concern structures with offenders? Why not arrest and punish the offenders? This is just wickedness! He should be made to pay for the damages! But then...this is Nigeria 😥

... make believe!

Perhaps this is why we need the new NASS Bill. To expressly set out what is permitted and what isn’t in the fight against COVID-19 and infectious diseases generally. Without the forced vaccination provision of course.

Crazy idea. Wrong action,he could have sized it and convert it to use as isolation center.

Riversordersdemolition You are wrong sir, Hotel should be categorized as hospitality where people can be isolated for some period to know if they have Covid or not. This is pure wickedness on your part.

But he will replace it with something for them

This is wrong by every standard whether there was a warning or not, no excuses for this wickedness, Wike is not the law, That's why we have a justice system . Nigerians need to know when their rights are slowly eroding. this is abuse of power and dictatorship. Wake up Nigerians!

With all his exposure and age, power is still pushing him up and down. May be something is wrong some where or whatever he is eating is too strong for him

Wike you no try. This is economic waste. Ø ñió ókpólór

There is life after covid. A fine would have been a better approach than to contribute to loss of investments and jobs.

Apart from SERAP and few lawyers, nobody is ready to ask our leaders to behave!! Even where this virus had done terrible havoc, human rights, rule of law and sanity are still respected! So Wike teaches, as a lawyer, that any Governor can kill suspects without the court?

This is pure wickedness to just pull down someone else's investment . Haba!

I see that these our politicians have charmed the entire country. Even during the military era, the religious leadership, the press and human rights organisations wouldn't allow this to go on without being challenged!! Is Wike truly a lawyer? Our press men should investigate him!

Hmmmm

Ok wike I did like d kind of work ur putting to enforce the lockdown But I think there should av been another way Nigeria is a democratic state

So demolishing the hotels and destroying people's means of income is now the best way to enforce disciple? This governor is becoming a tyrant under the guise of containing COVID-19 spread. This is not democracy.

Lawlessness is the order of the day... how does the offence align with the punishment. This is just senseless and poor leadership. Waste tax payers money to distroy the economyof the state. Very pathetic !

Nigeria is very destructive ......brutish leadership. What do you expect ! Why not confiscate the building ? Use the building as a health centre, police post, ......housing for police or something good without destroying it? Show of power and authority .....is that leadership?

I encourage the owners of those property to take legal action against Governor GovWike NyesomWlKE you wouldn't use wrong approach to right the wrong. This facilities serves those communities and employed some. We shouldn't forget that there is live after Covid-19.

IMAGINE MBuhari GIVING EXECUTIVE ORDER FOR GovWike PROPERTIES TO BE CONFISCATED BECAUSE HE'S BEING ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION. YOU'LL SEE HIM AND HIS PDPIGS PARTY MEMBERS RUNNING TO E.U, A.U, AMERICA AND U.K CALLING FOR RULE OF LAW. JUST SMALL RIVERS ST HE'S ACTING LIKE AN EMPEROR

LekanAdesina Mr wike that gubernatorial sit is not forever soldier go soldier come

Tyrant!

Okay, I almost judged until I got the full gist. Please you guys should try and get the full gist before concluding.. thank you..

Power has turned WIKE to a beast of no burden. This is clear show of naked power. How can a Gov used executive order to justify a reckless & brash demolition of immovable properties of the citizens of this country. A state of emergency ought to be declared in Rivers state.wike

Absolute power corrupts Absolutely.

They were warned in the Executive Order.

Wike! Wike! Wike!!!...How many times did I call you? Your days in public office are numbered. Tyranny has no place in democracy.

If man na God.....I think a good leader should be plus to the growing of the economy.... Good leader make use of any opportunity to make money for the state.... He should have cost the hotel and ask the owner to pay 20% fine.

Not the best of actions

The emperor is gone mad

Action man

This is wickedness, he could have atleast lock it down. Abeg dey should keep an eye on him before he will start shooting violators

Very good let them learn how to obey next time, to obey is better than sacrifice. Well done the law is there.

The punishment is heavier than the sin . I wonder what God will do on the judgment day

And somebody will say this is leadership.

is demolishing the place the corrective measures?

Wike !!!!!!!! Wrong move.

This is barbaric! Wike is a beast 👌

Executive rascality and illegality at its best!

King Wike the lord of lords welcome done ! Big fool who lives in fool’s paradise .

So unnecessary, tell people like this horseface wike to pass a bill that allow us kill anybody that mismanages Public funds now, the fool won’t agree

Tyranny!!!

This is inhumane, he could have lock it down for some while or tell them to pay a huge fine to serve as deterrent to others...

That's good

ayeniyemzy ,come and see dear.

Is cutting the head the cure for headache.......

Government is to protect life & property and not to destroy these. Wike is wrong in destroying properties.

this man is wicked I swear

you should not given news half, if you are given a head line be able to also give in details but by bit

Two wrongs will never make a right. Mr Governor has continued to be in the news for wrong reasons, there are better ways to show one is a performing Governor. Why can't he use the hotels as Isolation centers may be for a year as punishment

Nigerians please don’t be surprise, Wike will rebuild the demolished hotel, it happened in Oyo state with a radio station. Who loses Rivers state.

Mr governor, you over reacted, though we are in support of rules of law,but order alternative could have been better e g levy or sealed the place sir.

This is serious..

Nigeria and confirm cases

Guts let's settle this once!🤔 Who is more destructive n wicked here? Is it Wike or The Hotel owner?🤔 Who is endangering lives? If through d hotel, covid19 sprays n kills millions in River State who will be blamed? Like for Wike n rt for hotel wike mothersday2020 COVID19

In my opinion, instead of turning such hotels into isolation centre, he GovWike acted stupidly. Leadership no be giragira but deep thinking

Even though the punishment seems tough Nigerians are very difficulty to deal with,and at this point I ask where is self discipline.

Look at some fools complaining that Wike demolished hotels violating the lockdown, they did not complain when Buhari ordered the slaughter of 600 shia Muslims or the detention of Sowore or the lockdown of the National assembly. 🙄 Honestly we deserve the leaders we got

Alternatives to demolition; Fine Taken over by state Used as isolation center converted 2 hospitals Compelled to engage in paying industrial training Tourism income Outcome of demolitn; Loss of revenue via taxatn Loss of jobs Lower spending from tourism Reputational damage

Am not surprised at all Because most of our government officials don't have sence at all, I believe the owners of this properties are not the one invented the corona virus, after the demolition what happened to their livelihoods? What about their workers? Infact this's stupidity

Y na, is this not art of wickedness?

It's good that we all suffer now so that our eyes will be clear during election

But health minister was begging for isolation center?why demolition it's crazy measures he took,real fuck up

Haha 😳😳😳this is just too much now

Kasala

The face of true tyranny, gross misconduct, extensive overreach and unconstitutional act of an obvious, man who thinks himself an autocrat....

Problem with Nigeria politicians, Governor & lawyers destroying other people business, did anybody test positive in ur state? Fashola the second, u've join them in covid-19 business, fake lawyers.

I guess this is too extreme. There is other way than demolition

If not for the way he is strict with the lock down order, they would have had more cases of the Coronavirus than they presently do. Port Harcourt is almost as big as Lagos.

Hmmm

This one too much biko

This not the first time. OfficialFCTA under OfficialPDPNig administration did worst to my father in 2014. PDP blood running in Wike not a suprise.

Is this not an extreme punishment in a time like this?

Some of our leaders are just heartless and block head. How can you solve a problem to create another problem? Some of our leaders don't think before making decisions and don't even care about the outcome of those decisions.

Wike thats too far

Like say na wan kind serious hotel. No be agbero hotel be dis. If na Sheraton you tink say he fit. Looks nothing more than a roadside motel.

Whao! Just feeling for the workers who just lost their daily income

This is absolutely SAD.

This is wrong

This is barbaric of Wike or wicked whatever name he bears. Cutting the head isn't the medicine to headache, this unreasonable action must be condemned by every reasonable Nigerians. Someone should remind 'Wicked', he's a 2nd term governor & stop behaving as a newbie.

Nigeria government should arrest him his going to pay for the damages he don't have that single right

This is pure wickedness and political bias.🖕Just like that

That is the best way to send information to lockdown violators. This pandemic is real

This is the saddest thing anyone can do to another especially at this time and season that we should be consoling and compansating ourselves. The place could have been shut-down till further notice instead of the demolition... I weep!

Power is really intoxicating this man. He should slow down a bit

Like seriously. This point in time, your where my person but now you have disappointed me.

I think am beginning to like this wike guy, the law has to be enforced and that what it takes enforcement

Absolute lawlessness.

This is madness...

If Wike is voted into another political office. I know something is wrong!!

Wike! Why na?

Wike get mind o! Well, the hotel could be one of his friend hotel and it's just a way to help a friend. He will build a better hotel to replace it.

We know how this will end joor. Remember when last Oyo State government demolished a radio station and rebuild with tax payers money. Wait for season 2

HABA MR GOVERNOR THAT'S NOT THE BEST OPTION

So if you tell you child not to step out, rather than give him/her reasonable punishment, you will cut of their legs

Haha! Mr Wike!You could have used less violent approach such as placing the hotels under lock or any other less pragmatic approach rather than these destructions. Certainly, not the best way to handle such situations Mr Gomina

Wike is power drunk, I have always known this from his days as minister of states for education under GEJ's administration. Little power and he started fighting Amechi the then governor of Rivers State, its sad Rivers people never saw this coming.

The hotel is been owned by an APC member. It's pure political. This is very wrong.

Just imagine if Wike had absolute powers like Hilter once had in Germany, what would become of the society under him? I just think at the end of the day with Men like Wike, humanity may just owe Hitler an apology. EmperorWike seunokin

This man is biting more than he can chew. Y not close the hotels and convert them to isolation centres. Wat a silly mistake. So what has he done now? Hope he is proud?

Who does that ? Na wa o naija politicians una tire me

Nigga is going too far

I don’t blame wike, it’s this low standard of unemployment in this country that would allow a madman cultist be governor and put so many people outta work cos of his foolishness. Has wike taught about the staffs of that hotel? We are crying high rate of unemployment and now this?

Does he have rights to demolish properties in Rivers state without the courts.

Some governors are emperors in their state.

I wonder why some people are just fools a disgrace to there family n children before the lockdown there was a law that said no hotel should open if you do your hotel will be demolished n there are offenders n the law took its place fools are here comment rubbish

What's with Governor Wike and thuggery? Is this now the definition of governance?

This guy be taking this too far forgetting you won’t be there forever, he should ask others before him. Don’t know who he’s trying to impress, perhaps his wife!

Nawa oo

By this time of the year and the situation. Can't they use the hotels as an isolation center. Just saying though, what do i know.

Collateral damage in Rivers state, wonderful!!!

What the hell is this? C'm, this isn't solution.

I juts most times imagine where nigerian leaders/politicians get their myopic ideas from.. demolishing these establishments, how much has it added to the governments IGR? Why not shut them down and make them pay fines

What a nonsense

Some of you do not understand. We are actually in a state of war!! Wike is taking no prisoners!!!!!!

But to be sincere, government didn't not really provide what it's take to lock people down ooooh, but if we I'll say the truth the person that own a hotel can not tell me he didn't have the materials he need to obey government lock down rule. To me, i will say it serve him right

It's even better he use those hotels as isolation centre instead of demolition so what's next after covid for the owners and their employees. This is totally wrong

Cruelty

Demolishing an entire building is not the right thing to do...you won't be in power forever. Chacha dey rotate

This is callous and wicked! There are several more humane means that could have been used as punishment and deterrent for the erring hotels. I hope this news is not true, as I don't want to believe the Govt can be this callous.

After the pandemic might have been managed to a very minimal extent, Rivers State Government would have to contend with legal battles over the unlawful demolition of resident properties.

This is pure wickedness.. a ban would have served better..

Sir u went too far

the Riverians that love this kind of oppression deserve their police. eew

Why not convert the hotels to isolation centre

demolishing the hotel doest make sense you should av fined the hotel with a hug some of Money that would av profited you and ur state

This building no reach to call hotel na... Na guest house e be...The benefits of simple obedience are far more greater than daring disobedience

They should sue him and Rivers state govt simple! He's power drunk! There are other options as punishment. Haba mana!

This is not good.

That's too harsh. He should have sealed up the hotels, sue them, and have court decide their fate

Adding more enemies to himself, I pity the owner of the hotel. Bt Mr Gov. U no try at all this is way too much haba

Wicked leadership

This is wickedness

What he should have used as isolation centres🤦 I really don't know how these politicians think. This is not how to decipline someone for being disobedient

OfficialPDPNig should call this tyrant to order! Imagine if it were to be OfficialAPCNg governor.....PDP will be shouting by now

Wickedness of the highest order. Couldn’t he have sanctions then? This is taking too far. Haba!

ogundamisi Owners should take the government to court.

That it is a party man makes it better... Others will know that he's not playing inter party politics, he's trying to protect the state. That's how God will send sinners to hell because warning came first. Those who take warning lightly always get consequences heavily.

ogundamisi Dictatorship.

A man with action

Wike say hello to your twin brother..... Power belongs to God.....

This is madness. The worst thing is to convert the hotel to Isolation Center.

Even the governor himself is not wearing a mask or do lockdown laws not applicable to him? Pathetic!

TyrantWike TyrantWike TyrantWike TyrantWike TyrantWike TyrantWike TyrantWike TyrantWike TyrantWike

Is there an existing law in the state that supports his action or he's just acting out his advice/warning which has no weight of law? The state will have to pay for his misdemeanor.

Dis guy na tyrant oooh ☹️

Wike's style of leadership is not only undemocratic but also tyrannical 🤦🤦🤦

Some people source of livelihood...

I don't understand why he had to demolish a hotel... No sense in this act of his at all...

My beloved governor has turned to a tyrant

OkekearuOgechu1 Okijaaaa

This guy is mad ooo... Why all this rubbish.... do u know that u are destroying other people's Investment...? Mr governor, remember u will leave the post one day...hope u won't regret ur action in future...

The only talent Nigerian Leaders possess is destruction. Are there no better ways to sanction disobedience?. No man is God please.

Nigerian politicians continue to demonstrate and prove to be the most 'dumbest' no matter their qualification. They don't act in anyway closer to people with intelligence, not to talk of sense or wisdom.

This is too much...

Really & how did these thugs get elected to our vital offices? they just violate people's rights at will. He was just suppose to lock the hotels & make them pay big fine. If they were individuals who violated those laws, was he gonna demolish their houses also? Pathetic!MBuhari

Why are people so wicked when they're in power in this country?

That's Nigerians for you most of them are not honest instead saying the truth they we be saying something else Wike is not normal something is wrong with his brain.

Surely not a big hotel

I am sure that hotel is owned by FG agents that want to spread covid 19 to Wike's kingdom.

Stupid decision

They should take the govt to court. This is unconstitutional and he needs to be stopped

Gov Wike is war, he is a fight, he is the Indaboski Bahose 🤣

So what happens to the worker who have been thrown into labour market.

WITCHCRAFT NO BE ONLY WHEN PERSON FLY FOR NIGHT. THIS IS MADNESS OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE. WICKEDNESS + SADISM IS AN ACT OF WITCHCRAFT.

Wike has gone too far,demolishing the hotel is unfair,instead shut it down.He is over reacted.

Only this type of news channel tv specialised on but to announce the death of Buhari channel tv refused to do so, most corrupted station in the worldjohn Momo

I believe that if this demolition is properly probed, you may see an obvious political undertone for this REACTION. Our political leaders need to know that they are in office to serve the masses, and not to pursue personal interests. ISOLATION CENTRES are needed!!!!

👎👎

is that the best way to fight Covid19 lock down I think it is wickedness why can't he bill him/her to pay money into FG accounts

Fine them, don’t destroy property. bad decision

GovWike has acquired so much wealth and with it, inordinate power. Sorry for a system that produces this kind of monster that feeds off the people’s resources and in turn uses the power to oppress them under the guise of governance. Posterity will surely not be kind to him.

That's a bit too harsh. Now I'm beginning to believe he'll auction those seized vehicles. He's just like a loose cannon at the moment.

people that have not used their sweat to buy a bicycle are all happy that he demolished people's buildings. He should shoot the violators or cut their legs. unbelievable

He understands his people better. They are generally violent and recalcitrant.This is the only language they understand- force

That man should be sanctions he don't have any right to do that. If they can sue him I'll called them fool!

Why not convert such hotels to ISOLATION CENTRES? Do you have to demolish just to prove a point and waste resources? It's high time our political leaders started taking decisions for the benefit of the masses rather than to massage their egos.

Channel kindly post the right detail and don’t paint it all black. Your captions is bad. It’s should be wike demolished two hotels for faulting the lockdown order after warning.

Best option is to seal the hotel, now property loss, Job losses and revenue losses are involved. The best losers is the River indigenes.

Is destroying assets of his state....y can’t he use the hotels for isolation centers and returns them back to the owners when the pandemic is finally gone 🤷‍♂️

Honestly demolition is not an option at this time there are ways they can be penalized

The evil that men do, live after them. Power is temporary, ultimate power belongs to God. A lockdown and prosecution is the Democratic way of governance. You cannot be legislature, executive and judiciary.

This is barbaric.

Don’t worry. Those of una wey follow me dey ph and are busy shouting he warned he warned... we una food stuff finish and the lockdown is still in place, we go know how far.

That is too harsh

Devil at work!

I don't think gov wike is in his right senses because this is beyond imagination. Can some one tell him to stop these drama.

I can remember when this man demolished a mosque , so there is nothing new if he can also demolish a fucking hotels

At the end, those that fail to comply with lockdown order will continue to feed fat, and those who didn’t willcontinue to wait for govt palliative because those who didn’t comply will make the lockdown indefinitely. Nice one Wike. Nigeria is zoo, we need this

Lol

Thread with care, Mr Governor today....and Mr Nobody tomorrow.

Enough of sentiment... OBEY THE GOVERNMENT!

elrufai is once infected and recovered by God grace & you can see his approach toward controlling this epidemic. It is deadly and Nigs should listen for once. Let save our people. Listen and obey the govt 4 good of all. Let's be our brothers keeper. We are exposing our elders.

A good move atleast it's not buhari who demolished those buildings

And yall were against Amaechi

Now this isn't proper at all somebody's investment 🤦🏾 this period of hardship.

If he is acting within the purview of the law no problem, but if otherwise the action becomes something else.

When you disobey government orders, that is what you get. My worry is if the property owners were not served notices.

The defaulters should have be fined rather than demolishing the structures

Rivers State Strongman, abi..ooo !

Infectious Disease Bill needs to be Resolved FAST!!! to adopt the rule of law for such acts.

In as much as I may not take the option of hotel demolition, I still support Wike action. Nigs are playing with covid-19.With our percentage of Hiv, Hepatitis, Diabetes and other immunology diseases, we are bound to loose tens of millions if full community infection is allowed.

Where is Shehu Sani? Where is Deji Adeyanju? Where are the so called human rights groups. If it was the President now, these hired charlatans would have been everywhere. This is unacceptable. He must he dragged to court and compensate the owners or that hotel.

Callous & wicked

Wike is now doing too much, do u know how this will affect people

Demolishing the hotel wasn't wrong but is the society going to gain something from all this🙁🙁🙁🙁

Gov. Wike is going loco, totally out of control

An he will go home eat and sleep very this night. Governor no bi God oooooooo

Even though, GovWike 's action is utterly brutal. Why not use other punitive method e.g court trials,fines & sensitization through the media.

AmotekunSw It shows that most of our leaders don't understand simple logic. They are all power drunk. Instead of demolition why not confiscate the property and use it as an isolation center.... Animals in power. RealSeunKuti segalink

Follow me and I will follow back

Two small hotels

God will help us

But our leaders have disappointed us so many times but we never fought back against them He went too far. Even a military regime won't do this .

Bad influence no advice wike 🙆

He auctions cars but demolished hotels...Whoever gives brith to a nonentity has no child!

We must always strive to be law abiding citizens at all times so that the wrath of law will not catch us. To those that deliberately flouts constituted authorities order, there's a dare consequence for disobedience becos a lawless state cannot thrive. He warned but they dare him

Too harsh 😡

Government directives are to be obeyed having given several warnings ahead of time. Sometimes this high handedness serves as a deterrent for others to adjust

This is insane.....is he out of his mind? Tell me this is a fake news......

Demolished? Why can't he sealed off and convert them to isolation centers? Wisdom is the principal thing!

Demolishing hotels is too extreme, Wike should calm down

Why not just lock down the hotel and ban them from operating for three years, I think this is rather too harsh, I know he is trying to send a message across to others, but who even goes into a hotel in this pandemic? To do what? God help us.

This is anti-business.who advises the Governor on economic matters? This is enough to get businesses packing out of Rivers State. At this point wen he shld be pampering business owners and attract investors, so as to raise revenue and not cry to FG for 10B naira. Wike 😥😥😥😥

This is inhumane, Haba this Is not the best way to punish offender, no court trial,Haba this isn't military regime..Buhari can't try 1/100000000 of this

Respect is everything. Hotel didn’t respect government order then must pay the price .

Why not arrest the owners and make them face the wrath of the law instead of demolishing these buildings?

He took too far this time.

He could have just lock it down for some months...this is not good, honestly

This is just a way of killing fragments of your own economy in the name of killing a virus. If every building that violates is pulled down, I wonder what will be standing after the virus is gone.

Nigeria will be the best country in the world if all Nigerians are treated like this, start from the corrupt politicans MBuhari to everyone

The man of the moment, he said it and he kept to his words. That's a leader.

Channels it's none of your business. Focus on promoting APC evil agenda. Wike warm all and sundry. What you people want is to have his state infiltrated with CoviD19 and come out to castigate him without supporting him. He is doing what's right for his people. ChannelsTV

this is in humane

This is fcking crazy this governor WIKE no well oo

That's an action governors. Nigerians don't need kid-glove in administering governance to them.He's in order, no shaking.

Governor Wike you went far and it is not good. You should have sanction the owners of the two hotels instead of demolishing it.This is abuse of Power.

But lied is one hotel

If men were God... No matter what, this action was to the extreme.

Judicial, Legislative and Executive governor of Rivers people i hail o. Nigeria my country!

This is very wrong

He warned them strictly on TV and radio, he begged them, but they wanted to know what he can do, then he just used this people to set example, at least others will learn, he told them yesterday that if you open your hotel that he will bring it down, but still they want to try

I'm not even gonna talk about the harshness of this act but it's wastefulness

This is so unfortunate... Assuming it was Buhari that did this, some people including Wike himself would have been shouting ' dictatorship', military rule... What do we call this act of yours Uncle Wike

This man is taking this shit too far what's his problem

And this idiot has achieved something in his eyes..... Animals governing Nigeria.

Wicked man...see your head

U can't compare Wike with my Governor jidesanwoolu ...Babajide is far far better...If Wike is that wise he should ve converted the hotel to Temporary Isolation Centre instead of demolition....He shld try listen to his special adviser...Wisdom is not with only one man

Living true to his name, Nyesom Wicked🏌️

Shame😔

This is totally unacceptable. The Emperor should be called to order ASAP. He is Obviously loosing it already.

Maybe because the death number in NIGERIA is still in hundreds..thats why people are not seeing this Covid-19 pandemic as deadly...over 30 thousand people have died in UK..same in Spain...America, simple instructions, stubborn people will violate it..😀😀😀

Good music 🎼 for Mother’s Day Pls help us like comment and share

At times our people need to be handled with iron fist. An order was given by the governor to lockdown and some feel it was just a mere talk. This is a deserved punishment.

It's absolutely nonsensical to resort to the mindless, birdbrained and vacuous decimation of peoples' hard earned properties in the name enforcing Covid-19 lockdown. OfficialPDPNig must call its men to order. These properties could have been lockdown and lockedup. Lockdown

Where is the role of court in this action? So, Wike is the executive, Legislature and Judiciary in Rivers state.

What are the constitutional powers of Nigerian governors under the Nigerian constitution? This seems extreme

Good and wrong decision. Good Decision: Curb the spread, Protect the people. Bad decision: Increase in Poverty rate Increase in Unemployment rate. He should use other means to punish defaulters.

This guy is a bully; he should be sued. He should've shut down the hotel instead of demolishing it.

If there is a law that empowers the Governor to take this unconventional action, then that law is draconic and needs to be expunged. If there is no such law, then the Governor should act in accordance with the rule of law. Why not seal off premises and impose fine on defaulters.

Heart of nigerian leaders desperately wicked

The same rule violated in Lagos (Badagry) the state ordered the seal of the facilities. Which of this 🗡️🍾?

These actions been taken by RivGov will put this state in danger and am afraid we r already in danger to COVID19. He cannot hold the lockdown 4ever and when he finally opens up there will be hunger induced panic which will result to citizens carelessness to COVID19

Was thinking PDP is better than APC.

Demolishing someone’s investment due to violation of law of corona virus lockdown isn’t a fair idea. Seems wike does not have a heart

Other Lockdown Zones Applied Law & Sanction. Not Ego. We're Losing What We Cannot Easily rebuild.Every Term has Expire date GovWike

Follow for Follow, Who Is In? Just Like This Comment And I'll Follow You

Overzealous governor,why not take them to court. Too bad

Too bad

The buildings might belong to opposition members.. They should have complied to the lockdown order to avert this scenario

Total madness.

The hotel pays tax Employs the residence Improves the ambience of the environment Not situated on an oil/water pipelines The destruction has just shown how shortsighted the Gov leadership is. He could have just shut them down NyesomWlKE COVIDIOTS

Wike is heartless he is going to regret it

He warned!!he called the chiefs and traditional rulers and warned them also. The PDP youth leader thinks he is above the law. Wike just had to use him to show an example

Nzuzu

The OTLs will be coming out to defend him

This is not just right, sir you would have given them another punishment other than demolishing their means of livelihood.

maybe d hotels belong to members of.............Nigeria i love my father land chai

This is no longer what we agree to do. I think there's every indication of autocracy creeping into the system.

Wit dis kind of action,he shuld channel some 2 combat crimes in d state like kidnapping nd cultism

strong man

Democrazyy 🤪

This is illegal.

Hmm Nigeria governors He has think this is the best way by demolished the hotels

This is rubbish!!!

This is madness. Absolutely, madness. Very CRUDE and NAIVE You can do anything in Nigeria because you are in power. You can do whatever you like with power. Immunity is another problem.

Africans and power ehn... 🙄🙄🙄

This is not leadership

Tyranny

This isn't leadership... A fine should have been Appropriate...

This is bad reasonings.

Harsh and strict deterrence!

This is absolutely absurd.

I do not have any pity on the owners. My pity goes to their workers who will be left with no jobs. Some employers are just useless and insensitive. He/she must be observing the lockdown but exposing the workers, who obviously have no choice, to the virus.

What! even Lagos and kano did not take this autocratic action!

Why not make them isolation centers instead of demolishing... 🤦🏾‍♂️ That's dumb

No leader in this country, just mad men in power

Demolition seems to be a harsh step in my opinion. You are putting a lot of people out of their livelihoods...sealing up the place as well as sanctioning the owners would have been the right step to go. This is taking the power that the masses as entrusted to you too far.

Best Quality and Medically approved Face Masks

When the governor is a rogue and professional idiot, what do you expect. In his view, am in opposition fighting the incumbent. Check well, the hotels demolished are owned by APC members

He should have sealed the place up or turned it to an isolation center.

So sad

Even military government doesn’t behave like this

This is paranoia and lawlessness, pure and simple. What happened to persecutions and fines. This is thuggery.

Why not take them to court rather than destroying the property

If the Governor gave warnings..that hotels...bars that violates the Covid-19 lockdown will be demolished....then obviously he can justify his actions..😀😀

Sick

This is wickedness

He should have just locked/ ban them for like 2years instead of wasting all dat resources. Not cool.🥺

THIS IS UNDERDEVELOPEMENT. I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED. THE PRESIDENT MBuhari SHOULD CALL HIM TO OTHER.

NyesomWlKE sir your approach to curtailing the pandemic is good but please it a little bit harsh in my opinion sir,some of these structures you demolish are definitely means of the owners livelihood and what becomes of them after the pandemic?..my opinion sir!!Your SA on twitter

This man is really taking this stuff too far, this someone's hard earn money been destroyed like this is not fair

Nice job wike...but channels TV it's one hotel involving two buildings please 🙄

The man is doing what is that’s why they have not recorded one case till now

I am of the opinion that the erring hotels could have been converted to isolation centers.

Ooo Boi... Wike no dey play o. Weldon sir

🙄😳😳😳😳😳

Instead of converting the hotel to isolation center

It serves them right

'Judge and Jury' I hope he sleeps well today. 🤔

Demolition is a No No

Why is he dere?

This is bad, Rivers people should call wike to order na
