Horror! Governor Okowa Imposes Curfew In Delta As Thugs Set Ablaze FRSC Office

Mr Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Delta State, has imposed a 48-hour curfew in his state.

The governor imposed the curfew across the state to curb violence in the city, SaharaReporters reports.

Addressing residents of the state on Thursday morning, the governor said the curfew will begin from 6:00pm today and will be reviewed further.

All public and private schools have been shut until November 2, 2020.

The peaceful #EndSARS protest on Wednesday night took a violent turn in Delta State after thugs set fire to government offices and property in Asaba, the state capital.

The office of the Federal Road Safety Corps along the Benin-Asaba-Onitsha Expressway and the beautification garden at the nearby Koka Junction were set ablaze by the miscreants.

A senior FRSC official, who confirmed the development to our correspondent, said, “Our office has been completely razed down. As I talk to you can't pick a pin. But I thank God none of my staff was touched."

Our correspondent, who visited the scene, observed that the entire office and over 15 vehicles impounded by the commission including a lorry with cement were razed by the thugs.
