JUST IN: Wike Seals Hotel, Bar Belonging To Atiku’s Ally In Rivers

The outgone Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, in the early hours of Monday  May 29, ordered the police to seal off an hotel and a bar in the Elekahia axis of Port Harcourt.

The sealed buildings, CSKR hotels and Priscy’s Bar, belong to a former member of the Rivers State House of Assembly and supporter of Atiku Abubarkar, Hon. Jones Ogbonda.

In a short message, the former state lawmaker confirmed the sealing of the hotel and bar at around 2:55am by the State Police Unit of C4i.

Staff and lodgers at both sealed premises were manhandled and forcefully ejected from the buildings.

“Nysom Wike just sent  C4i police unit to seal my hotel, CSKR hotels and Priscy’s bar both at Elekahia. The police manhandled  both lodgers and staff and forcefully  drove out  everyone in the premises,” a part of the message reads.

No reasons were given for the latest order sealing the hotel and bar by the state government and police.

Recall that on August 19, 2022,  Wike ordered the sealing of Priscy’s bar where staff and customers were arrested and detained by men of the Tactical Team of Nigeria Police Force, C4i. The bar was sealed off for 11 days before the former governor directed it to be unsealed.
