Gov Wike Arrests Fulani Herdsmen Sneaking Into Rivers State With Their Cows

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has reportedly arrested 14 fulani Herdsmen who were hidden in a trailer and conveying their cows from the North into Rivers State.

It was gathered that the herdsmen were hidden in between the cows so they can be brought into the state unnoticed but luck ran out on them, as the governor was at the scene of the interception.

According to Nyesom Wike, the Herdsmen are to be tested for coronavirus and prosecuted while their cows and trailer would be auctioned. 

It's obvious that the governor has practically taken over command on the streets of Port Harcourt enforcing the extreme lockdown he ordered on Monday, May 4, 2020, on the state capital, and sending the defaulters to quarantine, seen as prison. 

Governor Wike had also insisted that impounded vehicles owned by defaulters will be auctioned.

Here's what he had said;

“The defaulters will be tried by the mobile courts and I have told the Attorney General, all the impounded vehicles must be auctioned. By tomorrow, the Honourable Attorney General would have advertised those vehicles and we will auction them.

“Some people don’t believe that Coronavirus is in existence. Until you make them understand that we are serious, they will not believe it. We will auction the impounded vehicles.”
