Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has ordered the demolition of Prodest (Prudent) Hotel at Alode in Eleme Local Government Area of the state.
This was contained in a statement by the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim.
But according to a Daily Post report a demolition truck arrived at the location of Prodest Hotel at about 11:30 am accompanied by Governor Wike and other officials of the Rivers State task force, and the building was eventually brought down.
Recall that Wike had marked ‘Prudent’ Hotel, Alode, Eleme and Etemeteh Hotel, Onne for demolition for allegedly flouting his government’s directive on the closure of hotels in the state.
The Rivers State Governor had declared a total lockdown on the two major cities in the state, Obio-Akpor and Port Harcourt City Local Government Areas in his effort to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the state.
