Police Nullify Wike’s Curfew Timeline In Rivers

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State was being awaited to give a response on Wednesday after the Police in the state asked citizens to disregard his curfew timelines and stick to that declared by the Federal Government.

Wike had imposed a curfew between 8.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m. in conflict to the 10.00 p.m. to 4.00 a.m. curfew imposed by the Federal Government.

Responding to the conflict and enquiries, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Rivers Command, Nnamdi Omoni said, “Both federal and the state government in Rivers have a common goal of ensuring safety and peace with the curfew, but it is elementary and commonsensical that when a state law conflicts with federal law, the federal law overrides the state law.

“Thought the intendment of the state law is in consonance with that of the federal government, if federal government says 10pm should be the curfew time, then we should work with the federal government order.”
