Governor Nyesom Wike imposes curfew across Rivers State

The Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has imposed a curfew in all the 23 local government areas of the state.

The Governor said the curfew takes effect from today, Thursday, April 29, 2021.

Governor Wike made the announcement in a statewide broadcast on Thursday.

The announcement comes two days after the Governor imposed a night curfew at all land borders in the state.

The Governor said a review of the security situation since the last curfew was imposed shows that security threats still exist.

According to him, “It has become imperative for the state government to take further necessary measures to secure our state and safeguard lives and property”
