Okowa’s order came barely 24-hours after some yet-to-be-identified hoodlums on Wednesday night vandalized and set ablaze a newly reconstructed recreation Centre in Asaba, the state capital.
Okowa, who declared the order yesterday morning during a live broadcast directed all public and private primary and secondary schools in the state to shut-down for two weeks.
The curfew, which will started yesterday by 6pm in the state, would last till Saturday 6:pm. The governor said that it appears that the #EndSARS protest has been hijacked by some misguided and opportunistic elements, adding that the sad situation threatens to plunge the state into chaos and anarchy.
