Commissioner for Tourism, Cross River state, ordered COVID-19 enforcement team to beat up UNICAL SUG president for not wearing a nose mask. I am trying to contact the victims' number and will speak to him as soon as possible and update. Though the commissioner has denied making the order, but he led the team that assaulted the SUG president.
