Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has ed his colleagues in other states, as he declared a 48-hour curfew across the state.

The curfew would begin 6pm today, according to the governor who addressed Government House reporters on Thursday morning.

Apart from the curfew, the presentation of the 2021 budget estimates by Okowa to the House of Assembly, earlier for today has been postponed.

The decision to declare the curfew, our correspondent learnt, followed Wednesday’s night violence that erupted at Koka area of Benin-Asaba-Onitsha expressway.

Hoodlums had allegedly hijacked the #EndSARS protest to unleash mayhem in the busy area by razing the operational office of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the multi-million naira beautification garden of the state government.
Although an unidentified army officer was said to have also been burnt alive, our correspondent could not however confirmed it from official sources.

As at the time of filing this report, major roads in the metropolis were already by barricaded by protesters, while businesses that forcefully closed shop on Wednesday afternoon were yet to re-open.

Declaring the curfew, Okowa ordered the closure of all public and private primary and secondary schools till November 2, 2020.

It would be recalled that schools had resumed academic activities for first in the 2020/2021 session on October 12 after the COVID-19 induced holiday of over six months.

Useless leaders everywhere.

They watch and do nothing as police brutalise their people. Now things have gone out of hand they are now here dishing out orders.

The president is not trying but the governors are even a bigger zombie.

Nothing to show for across the nation because of kleptomaniac we call leaders.

Some times am tempted to say our problem is spiritual, but I know its black man's wickedness to humanity.

Like I will always say.Nigerians deserves better.

Let's move beyond tribalism and religious fanaticism, and take back our country from these shameful leaders.

I really endorsed ifeanyi the governor of delta state for imposing the curfew because criminals in disguise of thugs, hoodlums, protesters are using this time of protesting engaging in killing, looting after vandalization, destroying properties and making it impossible for any movenment of people, motorist and rest. I commended okowa again on this curfew because some protesters are not using their senses but behaving like animals and proscribed SARS by turning from peaceful protesters to violence. Enough is enough for this mess. It's peace all of us need for the goodness of our country.

We are not sure where this happened, but hoodlums in the guise of being #EndSARS protesters raided a truck full of livestock.

Both male and female.... These hoodlums are seen caring away both goats and chicken which they stole from an abandoned truck.

I wish the governors can have total control of their states. It will be more peaceful. And in case of any protest, it will be well concentrated to the state governors .

This failure will not stop. Of what use is the coffin when there is no any report of violence in Delta State. Well the Nigeria youths are on the move. We are like a moving train right now. No evil agenda can stop us.
