A few weeks after Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike authorized the demolition of two hotels in the state, the owner of Prodest Hotel in Eleme, one of the demolished hotels, Mr. Needam Promise Gogorobari has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to step in and stop the murderous rage of the state governor by declaring a state of emergency in the state.
This was contained in a Save Our Soul message he issued recently and obtained by The New Diplomat.
“The whole world should be aware that Governor Wike wants to kill the manager to convince the public that infected persons were in the hotel, all in an attempt to justify his illegal demolition of the hotel on the 10th of May 2020. Society should, therefore, be concerned just as I am worried.
This is a Save Our Souls call. The President of Nigeria should step in now to stop the murderous rage of the Governor of Rivers State. He should submit Dr. Bariledum Job Azoroh to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC in Abuja and stop all further acts in this matter. All concerned are by this advised to go into hiding until the President steps in. This situation requires the full implementation of a state of emergency in Rivers State” he said.
Gogorobari further alleged a threat to the life of the hotel’s manager, Dr. Bariledum Job Azoroh.
“I have it on good authority based on intelligent report reaching me today – 24th May 2020 that the manager of Prodest Hotel in Eleme, Azoroh, who is a now a deliberate and sinister convict of the Rivers State Government and also a prisoner of the Rivers State Government has been framed up by an unorthodox hired medical officers recruited by Governor Wike with a report that he has tested positive to COVID-19 whilst in detention with the Rivers State Government.
The illegal detention facility is in Stadium, Elekahia, Port Harcourt and the Federal Government has since kicked against all forms of illegal detention in Rivers State. The Administration of Governor Wike has no regard for the rule of law and feelings for the poor masses.
You will further recall that the manager was held by the Administration of Governor Wike and kept in this gangster Stadium facility and surreptitiously tried and convicted last week with a fine of N50, 000 and to be isolated for 14 days. This is the worst abuse to citizen’s human rights under the Quarantine Act” he alleged.
He posited that the State Government should be held liable for infecting his manager with the deadly virus.
“The Rivers State Government and Governor of Rivers State must be held liable for infecting my manager who is in their custody for over 15 days with COVID-19. He was a very healthy person before his arrest. It is therefore medically impossible that the infection occurred before his detention.
It is a known fact that I and the Rivers State Government are at daggers drawn over the demolition of my hotel. It is a bestial act for the same Government to convict my manager and now infect him with the novel Coronavirus. It is also known that the objective of the Governor is to kill my manager and his lawyer by conducting some unorthodox medical tracing to the lawyer.
The manager is currently under pressure to take some unorthodox drugs that are non-compliant to the NCDC prescription and treatment procedures.
Furthermore, the drugs have been prepared locally and it is a poison such that if used, it will kill the manager of Prodest hotel within 24 hours” he added.
Recall that Governor Wike had ordered the demolition of two hotels over an alleged breach of lockdown rules intended to contain the spread of coronavirus.
He personally supervised the tearing down of Edemete Hotel and Prodest Home on Sunday, May 10, 2020, and said the operators had flouted an order that hotels should be closed.
