Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has directed the Attorney-General of the State and the Commissioner for Justice to auction all the vehicles impounded by the task force on enforcement of the lockdown order in Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor local government areas of the State.

20 vehicles were impounded on Thursday by the task force set up by the state government to enforce the lockdown order imposed by the state government in the two local government areas.

The lockdown, which took effect from Thursday as one of the measures adopted by the state government to check the spread of COVID-19 in the state, has forced residents to desert the streets of Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor local government areas.

Governor Wike, who spoke to reporters shortly after monitoring the level of compliance by residents, said that the defaulters of the lockdown order will be tried by the mobile courts while the impounded vehicles will be auctioned.

Learned gentle of the law, kindly avail Nairaland of any law or laws (state of Federal) that gives a Governor of a state the power to order the auctioning of impounded vehicles belonging to citizens who had violated the COVID-19 lockdown directives of the Governor.

As the CSO, he didnt auctioned the cars, He made the auctioning available to the Attorney General/ CJ... he only gave order

What is the law regarding such situations? Has the state government the power to make such order?

You have no idea the level of foolishness this retarrds exhibit on NL with so much bravado.

State Governor turned Comptroller-General of Custom.

Funny part is the vehicle can spread the virus if the owner caught the virus b4 being caught by covid-19 task force.

Executive order is a legal instrument of its own and a distinct body of law.

I hope you have not forgotten that in 2015, Buhari issued a executive order that permits him to seize looters properties.

Which comment of common Sense are you talking about, Buhari has overthrown and squash common sense, Wike is on a revenge mission, it a counter attack, Buhari has turn the country lawless, taking about right of auction here is inconsequential.

Was a lockdown not declared? Why did the vehicle owners flout the law.

His Executive Order 6 gave him such powers. Any further question?

is Wike a president? Do you know what is GCFR. Why comparing orange with apple

Hmm, my car was also arrested for the violation of the lockdown order in Lagos and I learnt that we are going to court on Monday.

God help me because I don't know what to do again. I was able to see my car after much stress only to find out that my car stereo has been stolen and my car engine tampered

Going to Court, the best way to go. If at the end the court finds you guilty, it is the court that will melt out the punishment, although without prejudice to the prayers of the prosecutor.

Wike is an executive, he has power to issue executive orders.
