Promise Gogorobari, owner of Prodest Hotel, Eleme, which was
demolished for allegedly flouting lockdown order in Rivers, has accused the
state government of infecting his manager, with COVID-19.
In a statement, Gogorobari said his manager was healthy
before he was detained on the orders of Nyesom Wike, the governor.
Paulinus Nsirim, Rivers information commissioner, had listed
Bariledum Azoroh, the manager, as one of the 27 people who recently tested
positive for the disease.
“Rivers State has recorded 27 new positive coronavirus
cases. The manager of Prodest Hotel, Eleme is among the new positive cases,”
the commissioner said in a statement.
“Recall that Prodest Hotel was demolished two weeks ago
because the owners violated executive order 7 which banned the operation of
hotels.
“The COVID-19 Task force members from the local government
who went to enforce the executive order were brutalized and dehumanised leading
to the death of one of them.”
But Gogorobari said Azoroh’s test result is fake, alleging
that the state government is using the quarantine law to abuse the rights of
citizens.
He said after after his manager was arrested, he was
detained at a “gangster stadium facility.”
“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 said.
“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 demolition of my hotel.
“The whole world should be aware that governor Wike wants
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.
“The society should therefore be concerned just as I am
worried.”
Gogorodari has since denied breaching the lockdown order in
the state for which his hotel was demolished.
