“There is no provision for even the President to take the Law into his hands and then begin to mete out punishments to citizens without recourse to the constitution... Femi Falana SAN
Femi Falana is not the court. They sowed the wind by beating up the state task force members so they should be courageous enough to withstand the whirlwind.

Please all of you condemning the Governor's action, you can't stay in the comfort of your home in another state and judge a matter in another state without findings. I am living in PH and was condemning the act until my friends wife from Eleme told me thing about the owner of the hotel.

Read what an APC member in Eleme wrote.

WIKE'S ACTION, HAND OF GOD.

I have read several articles and watched videos of people condemning the River State government demolition of property ( Hotel) of Princewill Osaronwa OSAROEJIJI. I appreciate their concerns and worries as Democrats and law abiding citizens cos, I would have screamed louder if I am not an Eleme son. However, knowing Governor Wike well, they ought to ask questions and make further investigations as to know what really happened.

1. Note that the said hotel belongs to Princewill Osaronwa OSAROEJIJI of Alode in Eleme LGA of Rivers State.

2. The demolished hotel has been a hideout for criminal gangs and venue of cult meetings from where they take off for operations.

3. The hotel houses prostitutes ( Asawo)

4. The hotel was operating with the prostitutes hosting customers even during the lockdown despite State orders.

5. The hotel was not only open to customers both full and short time but was hosting parties amidst this covid-19 pandemic, the owner feeling he is above the law and indeed the Youth Leader of PDP.

6. That words was sent across to the hotel owner to close down or face demolition and he sent words back that he dares the State to try it and see if he will not bring down the State.

7. That Members of covid-19 committee monitoring hotels went to enlighten the owner and his guest that what they were doing was against the executive order of the state government and acceptable practices.

8. That he and his boys not only assaulted the Committee Members but pointed guns at them and shot and injured one of the members of the team.

9. That Eleme people who are his people are weighing a little sigh of relief concerning the pulling down of the hotel.

10. That the hotel is not money made from genuine seat as alleged but crime and human blood.

9. Do u know how many lives the boy has wasted in that hotel?

10. That Princewill was the Cause of the crisis in his community Alode in 2017/2018 that led to over 10 deaths including that of Late Isaac obe (Former Eleme Youth President and APC Zonal youth leader) as well as his sister Barrister Mary Obe.

11. That the owner Princewwill is a suspected Gun runner as he has not been convicted.

12. That he was shot on the leg during one of his escapades in the community and thus limps.

13. That he is suspected to be the Blackaxe leader in Alode and that enboldens home to live above the law.

14. That he is an alleged oil thief.

15. God just used Wike to bring some respite to Eleme Community.

16. Ask Eleme people how they feel before you make further comments or condemn the ousting of a criminal.

17. How many hotels are in Rivers State. Several have been sealed and their management arrested and charged to Court for several violations, none was demolished.

18) That the State was not just dealing with a regular hotel but a criminal den. He cup was just full.

19). That Princewill should be arrested to face the music and let Eleme have some respite.

20). We thank God for this intervention through Rivers State cos nobody dare touch Princewill in Eleme.

21). Any doubt as to any issue raised here. Please cross check with the security agencies in Eleme who Princewill Osaronwa OSAROEJIJI is and what he stands for.

I AM FROM ELEME AND AN UNREPENTANT APC MEMBER BUT I THANK GOV. WIKE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE.

I WOULD LIVE TO ADD MY NAME FOR CONFIRMATILN BUT FOR SECURITY REASONS AS HIS BOYS ARE STILL THERE.

Note. Do U know that the second hotel that violated was not completely demolished. They only demolished the small bar section and left the main hotel building. Pls always make findings before jumping into conclusion. Thanks
.
Nigerians are heartless

It is now I found out that Nigeria will never be good, if people can support someone that used a gun to shoot people doing there job, then I wonder the kind of citizens Nigerians are.
Im not a fan of any politician, I stand for justice.
We have prayed the prayer before now against people that don't want Eleme to have peace and God has answered it.
Instead of everyone to be happy, at least Wike is dealing with his party members so that justice will take its place.
They are ranting that houses are precious than human lives.

Insulting and abusing does not give your point credence.

The illegal structure demolishing goes through a legal process, verification and approvals before demolition.

The Governor does not wake up and start demolishing.

The Hotel in question is not illegal. So that point is baseless to the discussion.

Buhari disregarding the law does not make it right. I wonder why you bring up another baseless point.

Even at the suspicion of that, proper investigation, arrest, identifying the criminals and prosecuting them is the right way to go about it.

How does destroying someone's building lead to achieving the purpose of making criminals face the full wrath of the Law.

Wike just hurt a man's business in the name of hurting a man who does not own the hotel.

You can not spin this to Wike's favour.

Members of Rivers State COVID-19 Task Force Recount Their Ordeal at Prodest Motel, Alode

•describe how PDP Youth Leader beat them up in the premises of Prodest Motel after the Hotel Manager invited him

Some members of the Rivers State COVID-19 Task Force on Monday explained how the PDP Eleme Youth Leader, Mr Princewill Osaroejiji led several thugs to inflict injuries on them at the premises of Prodest Hotel, Eleme.

The Task Force members who are hospitalized at Famo Clinic, Eleme told journalists that they met Prodest Motel in operation.

Speaking from his hospital bed, Friday Osaro Oloka said that when they got to Prodest Motel, a party was ongoing. He said that they approached the hotel manager, who sought permission to call his proprietor.

He said: "The manager called and the PDP Youth Leader came with some boys. They beat us severely.

"The PDP Youth Leader asked us why we came to the hotel where he lodged. We told him we didn't know that's where he lodged. Despite that he and his boys beat us till 8pm."

Another Task Force Member, Samuel Ndu admitted that people were drinking and partying at the hotel when they got there.

He said: "The Manager asked us to wait. Thereafter, several persons came with the PDP Youth Leader who beat us.

"We got Information that the hotel has been operating despite the order to close hotels etc."

Appollos Orr, a Task Force member who sustained injuries, we went there to check their manifest and inquire why the hotel was operational.

He said: "We were observing the manifest when we started hearing shouts from outside. Thereafter, we saw Mr Princewill Osaroejiji and his thugs who beat and injured us".

Dr Emmanuel Ejembi of Famo Clinic said that the Task Force members were brought into the hotel with severe injuries. He said that they said it was a case of assault.

He said the Task Force members complained of Fracture on right knee, pains on their neck and stomach. He pointed out that they are now safe.

Chairman of Eleme Local Government Area, Philip Okwaraji acknowledged that the Task-force members were beaten up at the Prodest Motel by the PDP Youth Leader .

He said the State Government issued the Executive Order on 4th May and the Eleme Local Government issued notices to all hotels on May 5th, 2020. He said anyone who flouts Executive Orders knows that there will be consequences.

Where is the picture or video of party going on or any sort of gathering.
Show us picture or video when the thugs were beating you.
Show us picture of the manager during the fracas.
The man in admission looking so fresh with bandage without blood stains or body injuries.
Is the man on admission the only person beaten or admitted?

Poor people on Nairaland will just be attacking themselves and pressuring their blood. Nothing, I mean nothing will come out of these demolition. The constitution gives state governors enormous powers similar to Kim Jong Un. In the next few days now, we'd all forget this and be faced with another more difficult buharistic problem. In the end, the PDP youth leader will be replaced by another thug from same village and having lost his ashawo hotel business, he'd relapse to his former poverty-stricken life; no be Eleme boy again wey no get business sense..sighs!
