Residents of Bonny Local Government Area today observed the first day of the lockdown imposed on the area by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.

Kristina Reports checks around the town showed high level of compliance as most residents were indoors with the streets empty save for fierce looking security operatives comprising the Nigeria Police, Nigeria Army, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, and paramilitary organizations like the Vigilante Organization of Nigeria (VON), among others.

“As you can see the streets are empty as most people are indoors. Hopefully, we expect that our Governor will do the needful by sending palliatives to the people of the area as most people were caught unawares and many have been indoors, not earning any pay for months now.” Kristina Reports will continue bringing you updates on as the lockdown progresses.
