Amidst an increase in the number of coronavirus cases across various states in Nigeria, the Governor of Rivers State, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has barred entry into the state.

He released a statement in which he revealed that the state cannot allow entry from anybody coming from the airport into the state.

He also stated that no vehicle will be allowed entry into the state and no vehicle will be allowed to leave the state.
