The Rivers State Government has asked it's Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice to auction all vehicles that were impounded for violating the state’s lockdown directive.
The statement reads, “Government will deal decisively with the residents of these areas if they are found to default again. “Anyone parading exemption letters except the one issued by the governor is doing so at his or her own risk as such permits are invalid. “The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice has been directed to auction all vehicles that violated the lockdown order.
“Members of the public who are interested to buy the auctioned vehicles are to watch out for details in The Sun, The Nation and Vanguard Newspapers.”

It is only acceptable if punitive sanctions are commensurate to an offence. He should charge them to court...... Let the law decides. Instead of jungle justice. He should also remember that that seat is NOT permanent.
Wike vs el-rufai
In Kano state where d governor relaxed a lockdown by d federal government for d people to pray a little, what has become of that state now?. Desperate time demands desperate actions.
Do they have the power to do so?
This is not right. Why not ask them to pay fines.
No I don't support this one wike
on to waitn now abi skushes dey hin brain ni
Gov nwike and security agents are causing confusion as to what constitute essential services. We need clarification on what he mean by exempt letter from govt house. Do health workers need individual permission from gov or their ID,etc
The government must exercise caution in doing this auctioning. It is known the world over that some exceptions were permitted during Lockdown. Are they emergency personnel, hospital aptments, 1 person to buy food, medicine, etc. If not, fine them, not auction of car. Too strict😥
This is very wrong. GovWike don't do it
Wike is the accuser, prosecution, judge, & executioner. Okay, let's see how he will end.
I think it will be wise to ask them to pay fine by a law court.
In as much as I hate what they've done, auctioning their vehicles isn't the way forward. How can you even add to their problems? What sort of insensitive people do we have as 'RULERS' in this Nation? They should just sue the governor right away. Dictators everywhere!!!
It's good for Government to protect it's people, but this decision of auction people's cars because of violation of lock down is amount to tyranny if not madness. They should be simply charged to court.
Under which law.
Hehehe
Mugu
Does our law supports this?
This Wike is taking too much. This is tyranny. PDP, call your governors to order, they have the biggest tyrants among the governors.
That moment you drive out to place bids only for your own vehicle to be impounded and added to the list..
Very good one there. People must learn to respect the law of any states.
If it is within his powers as a governor, then it’s a great idea. A lot of Nigerians are lawless especially those who know one or more people at the top.
We will buy no such things.
1dollar for the Corolla 2002
Lol
Why sell their cars that they worked for with their hard earned money? Why do all these people in power behave like power is not transient? What happened to fine, punishments, community service etc This is alter rubbish🤨and abuse of power.
This governor is power drunk and too full of himself
Wike is the emperor of riverstate not a governor, people outside don't know the torture and punishment this man has put us tru all in the name of covid 19. In my area we have been on lockdown for 3 weeks now with nothing to survive on. He keeps making noise on TV and newspaper
If this is true, then its very unfortunate. Wike's tyranny is very unbecoming
The owners couldn't claim them or what?
That's how they will auction his own when he leaves office. Wait and see.
Hope he auction people too not only their properties. Sad! Can't it be contests Court?
Hw will this happen in a democratic dispensation, ar we in military era...wer has this happened all over the country, this action doesn't have human face, quarantine them and probably give them fine...and any Nigerian that's coming 2 buy those cars the person should be a robber
Habahabahaba! I do not know what to make of this!
They should sue this idiot... which kind of pple do you guys elect to power Nigerians? Smh.... next time you all will have sense... govs acting like kings... in a democratic system.
People need iron hand I can't blame my governor imagine there's lockdown and people are going to the market by 3am to sell is proper?
As if the Wike is law abiding. Tout
No way this makes sense seriously
Scape goats for Corona Lockdown Bcos the Rich are afraid abi? What scapegoats has been made to Nigerian looters If u like Lockdown....Corona and come to separate Weed from grass OR wld u lockdown till vacine is made December? Joke
Nonsense
Will I be able to get a bus for 50k? 🤣
This is extra. Haba.
You own bad oooo
Better than shoot at sight order.
Finally I fit get Benz for 200k. Wike na me first reach oo
That's crazy
No one will violate order tomorrow
The proper thing for the riversstatepdp government to do is to fine the violators of lockdown and not disposing off by auction their cars/belonging which to me is also unlawful.
Wike is a very good business man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wike for take am easy oh!
iam_ccent Haba!!!
This should be done to those vehicles hiding people under foodstuffs and containers and traveling through states. When one is auctioned, others will learn. It baffles me how one gets to travel through many states despite the presidential order banning inter-state travels.
Dats not a good one!
Is beheading the solution to headache?
Anyway. I don’t blame them. Taking what does not belong to them is in their DNA. ( Abandon property’s). We didn’t forget.
This happens when a fool gets too much accolade. Why don’t the gov use this stern hand to fix PH that is a dump. Nonsense
This is absolutely not fair they should not try it
All of praising wike will be served with same cup he's serving innocent rivers residents that he neither created food market to buy what they will eat nor provided palliatives to cushion the effects of his lockdown. May I know why the lockdown? To conduct more tests or what?
I believe wike is over doing right now
Anything wey all this govt wan do, let them do it fast cos there's no time. I believe dey won't be alive till 2045 wen I'm going to sit at Aso rock,... I pity their nauty children 🚶🚶🚶
Any toyota corola their for 100k😃
Wike won turn car dealer
I pity d poor. Ahswer I must be rich. Benz no de violate lockdown oo Police no de stop Benz checking point Trust me 😎
I know is not good to violet orders. There are many punishment then these please. This is too big a joke
Nigeria why? 😭😭😭
Double wahala for death Nig I Haii oooo
ㄒ卄丨丂 丨丂 ㄒㄖㄖ 乃卂ⅅ 卩ㄥ乇卂丂乇
GovWike The guy too proactive abeg... Man wey stubborn finish, e children go still stubborn na
That's illegal..... he should be prepared to buy them new cars....
GovWike Though it very annoying when as a leader you are disobey by your subjects but I think Wike led state government should have mercy for today is the start of the lockdown.
E be like say that Wike no get him people mind again. He's just misbehaving.
Awesome great job
I think dis is extreme..
GovWike We Stan a king💅
just wondering if it was pmb,his entire lineage along with the north would have being dragged for the next 1 week
abeg dem get 2015 range rover for there?
OkoyeJanefranc2 martins_ene see why i say the man too dey vex
Accepting this..... is car robbery....Wike as a Lawyer should know better. ...return the cars to the owner after quarantine probably with a fine.
GovWike Mr Governor taking this step in correcting someone's did is beyond human imagination. I urge you to look into it and give a better judgement than putting properties for sale.
GovWike Let him try it He will know that the devil in him will deny him of his action because what will come after it he can't stand it And he will be accusing Amaechi
Make I go check if firstbank never deduct out of my last 2,500. I have an auction to attend
But the rulers are above the law Right?
That is stealing by trick, u enforce lockdown without palliative, seize vehicles and want to aution them, I cant blive it, how does government look at citizen self, are we slaves?, no difference from our colonial masters.
Instead of u guys to tell river state people to obey the government order,u are here calling the governor names ,many of u have ur cars parked in ur houses n no one auction them ,let them obey the order .
GovWike Market o😂
GovWike Wike is War
GovWike This is nothing but recklessness and abuse of power!
GovWike He wants to buy them new ones
GovWike Wike 😂😂😂😭
Nothing to be angry about here, it's our governor, he's our blessing 🙄🙄
How about the plane I saw flying around today R they not bidding it to the public. Mtcheeeew. Musa sorry jare..... nothing u no go c for gate.
That's harsh, what if, it's a means of livelihood

GovWike Yes.. to obey the rules but people are hungry and dry
Hmmm hmmmmmm what law state that
