The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has ordered the arrest of two helicopter pilots for allegedly violating the Executive Order issued by the state government to curb the spread of coronavirus in the state.
He said this at the office of the state Commissioner of Police in Rivers, Mustapha Dandaura, in Port Harcourt, on Tuesday, following the arrest of the pilots whom he said had illegally transported expatriates to the state. Reacting to the incident, the helicopter company said its client, as well as, itself had the approval/ exemption to fly and continue operations in the oil and gas industry.
Why the pilot and not the airline company? Air pilots are essential workers and have to respond to call in times of need. They airline company ought to be checked and not the pilots. NyesomWlKE this is a wrong and fould move arresting pilots and not airline checked.
Good work Mr. Governor. The number of helicopters hovering over PH metropolis is unprecedented. Who are they carrying and where to? There are unconfirmed reports of COVID19 expatriates here in Rivers State. We are watching.
He will release them, they fly oil workers to the field. Looks like he doesn't know that they are exempted from the lockdown. He is threatening his state federal allocation mainly coming from oil production.
