IgbereTV reports that the Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has ordered security operatives to shoot any returnee that tries to escape from the quarantine and isolation centres on sight.

IgbereTV recalls that Ebonyi state government had at the weekend ordered immediate isolation of no fewer than 37 returnees that entered the state through the bush after the state government ordered the closure of its borders to prevent a spread of Coronavirus in the state.

Umahi vehemently stated that returnees that try to escape from the quarantine centre where they are to be subjected to medical examinations for 14 days as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic should be shot on sight.

About 30 persons were said to have entered the bush and crossed to a boundary town between Abakaliki and Enugu where vehicles were already on standby to carry them to their various destinations.

The 30 escapees and seven returnees were later taken to a quarantine centre at the Abakaliki Township Stadium where Umahi visited them at 9 pm and ordered that they are to remain in the center for 14 days where they will be subjected to a daily medical examination.

Mysticwebb:
Umahi, easy. Why are you this fearful?
If this man were to be Buhari, Abba Kyari for don land heaven since. Bala Mohammed and Co for be on the run by now.
Nigga is very afraid of the virus.

tbtosine:
That is ridiculous

senatordave1:

It is in the best interest of the state

AkeNathan:
If you don't want to be shut at, remain in isolation center.

Simple.

Abi you want to go and infect innocent people with the deadly virus ni?

One infected foolish man can be sacrificed to save the lives of millions in the state.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Stubborn black men won't obey simple directives for the common good.

tbtosine:


you mean it is in best interest of the state to shot a good infected citizen of the state to death? I dont see any reasonable sense in this sir. If the infected persons are not kill by the virus but get kill by order of the governor. That is man sluaghther and homocide commited base on the governor order. I pray it doesn't get to that stage anyways.

Sammy07:


Then why will the infected citizen run away from isolation centre if not for ulterior motives?

A good citizen should be law abiding and should never act to endanger the health of other people for the greater good of all

i'm not saying any one at isolation center should run away but is shot on sight the best way to control such situation ? What if they are capture alive and guid under strict supervision. How on earth would they have to escape in the first instant if the security at the isolation center are compitent and know what they are doing. Say No to killing on sight. That could lead to lot of things if you think deeply.
