Description

Photographs of a cross section of the over 200 persons arrested today in Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor LGAs for violating lock down order in Rivers State. Their dressing would tell you that these people were in their neighborhoods but were arrested to score political, no I mean COVID-19 Pandemic points by the media-happy Rivers State Government and their rights violated and abused.
