Rivers State government Thursday threatened that the state government would auction all the vehicles impounded during the COVID-19 lockdown<\/a> in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government had ordered a total lockdown of Port Harcourt Local Government Area and Obio\/Akpor Local Government over COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement issued by the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paul Nsirim, the government warned the residents of the two LGAs against flouting the directives on lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said the vehicles seized during the lockdown period would be auctioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement read: \u201cRivers State government hereby warns residents of Ward 20, Amadi-Ama in Port Harcourt Local Government Area and Mgbuosimini, Rumueme in Obio\/Akpor Local Government Area to desist from flouting the government directives on lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGovernment will deal decisively with the residents of these areas if they are found to default again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnyone parading exemption letters except the one issued by the governor is doing so at his or her own risk as such permits are invalid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Attorney-General<\/a> and Commissioner for Justice has been directed to auction all the vehicles that violated the lockdown order.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
