Trading, Businesses Now Illegal In Woji, Evo Kingdom – Monarch

Trading and all forms business operations have been shut down in Woji and the entire Evo Kingdom.
The Eze Oha III, HM,(king) Leslie N Eke, said this while inaugurating the 12 – Man Task Force committee on enforcement of the order at his residence on Tuesday March 31, 2020 in Woji Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
King Eke said the committee was to commence work with immediate effect due to the urgency of Governor Wike’s directives.
He noted that the order must be sternly  obeyed   to stay safe, until when such orders would be relaxed.
The Eze Gbakagbaka expressed regrets that people could still go about their normal business without recourse to the ravenous spread of the disease.
According to him,  the paramount thing is to stay safe and added that it only takes the living to buy and sell.
The Nyerisi Eli Woji/ Nyeriri Mbam Oro Evo, also called on the task force committee not to compromise with the task before them as such was tantamount to attempted murder and suicide mission.
He also warned against sabotage from business operators, and added that any of such attempt would be greeted with the required provisions of the law of the state.
In his response, the task force committee chairman, Prince Promise Wobo Eke,  said the orders of both the Governor and the Majesty would be strictly followed.
Eke noted that the nature of the disease did not warrant any sort of sharp practices and added that life was key.
He   hinted that his  committee would ensure that no stone was left unturned so as to meet the present challenge on ground.
It will be recalled that Givernor Wike had directed all tradtional rulers to ensure strict compliance with the directives to shut down business operations in their respective communities or risk dethronment.
