COVID-19: Monarch Warns Against Unsanitary Habits

Following the increasing cases of Coronavirus pandemic in Rivers State and across the country, Paramount Ruler of Rumuoduwere Clan in Elelenwo, Eze Ken Otto, has warned against all forms of unsanitary habit by the people.
Eze Otto in an interview with newsmen in his palace said, regular hand washing with running water and soap must be observed by the people as well as the wearing of face masks.
According to him, it is imperative for his subjects to comply with the directive of government as law-abiding citizens to avoid contributing to the rise of the pandemic in the state.
He said, his community must support the collaborative effort of the Rivers State government to curtail the menace in the state.
Eze Ohna Odu IV explained that recent experiences have shown that lockdown is worse than the COVID-19 pandemic, hence the need to maintain government directives by observing social distancing, hand sanitising, wearing of face mask as well as other measures to avert the spread.
Eze Otto said Rivers State government should be commended and supported for putting necessary safety measures on ground to save the lives of Rivers state residents of which his subjects are beneficiaries.
He said further that, “from what we are witnessing about the second wave of COVID-19, the need to reemphasise support to government by observing all preventive measures is paramount.
As we go into 2021, it is imperative for us to obey government directives especially in public places by wearing face mask, sanitising hands and observing social distancing.
“As Rivers State government shows concern for its citizenry, we must show maximum support and cooperation,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Rumuodomaya Police Division has vowed to maintain its constitutional role of maintaining lives and property.
The Division also said its doors were open to members of the public on useful information about safety of the citizenry.
This wake up call was made by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Muktar Muhdi
CSP Muktar said this last week when he was honoured by a media group for exhibiting professionalism, especially during the #End SARS protest.
He said the issue of policing is everyone’s business, hence all hands must be on deck to secure a better society, while commending the Rivers State Commissioner of Police for ensuring peace in the state.
