DELTA COVID-19 TASKFORCE ON BOUNDARY ENFORCEMENT PULLS DOWN IRON BARRICADE ERECTED ON THE NIGER-BRIDGE BY ANAMBRA GOVERNMENT. BY Dr Ruth Nkeaka (24-05-2020) ASABA: Today, 24th of May 2020, Honorable Innocent Esewezie, the Oshimili South (Headbridge) Covid-19 Taskforce on Boundary Enforcement with his Team pulled down the Iron barricade erected on the Asaba-end of the Niger bridge by the Anambra State Government to ensure there is passage and movement of vehicles on essential duties only across the border. You will recall that as part of measures to curtail and curb the spread of the global pandemic, COVID-19, the 36 State Governors agreed on restricted interstate movement of humans and vehicles but only allowing movement of persons on essential duties and vehicles conveying essential goods such as agricultural, medical and pharmaceutical products across borders. The Delta State Government thereafter set up the State COVID-19 Taskforce on Boundary Enforcement to ensure unauthorized persons and goods do not find their way into the State and this has helped, to a very great extend to curb the spread of the Coronavirus within the State. Sadly, only recently, the Anambra State Government took the movement restriction a step too far by totally restricting movement of even essentials across the Niger Bridge thereby causing a very heavy and agonizing build-up of traffic comprising of trailers and trucks stretching from the Head bridge all the way to Koka Junction and even beyond thus causing untold hardship on the citizens and also adding more structural stress to the already weakened Niger bridge. Moreso, erecting an iron barricade to achieve their aim. |

What Effrontery? Who born them.. The gate was at Anambra boundary... This is the height of disrespect to our sovereignty. |

They don't have the right to do that. The whole of the Niger bridge from Asaba end to Onitsha end all lie within Anambra territory and thus within Anambra jurisdiction. |

The Delta youths want to continue collecting bribes from people who cross the bridge, those gates would make them jobless. |

AsomughaChuks05: Anambra state government should then block the end of the bridge (Onitsha axis) |

Johnnyessence: Why pulling the little biafra gate installed while constructing the bigger gate. The border is gate is at Anambra boundary. |

amaniro: We need to block the two.. What are you saying.. |

Okada charge 1000 naira to cross people from one end of the bridge to the other side using the bridge walkway. Those Delta youths are just stealing from Onitsha traders. They are doing nothing to stop interstate movement. |
Re: Delta State Government Pulls Down Border Iron Gate Niger Bridge by AsomughaChuks05: 8:26pm On May 24, 2020 |
amaniro:The Onitsha end is gated too but vehicles will now be parking on the bridge as the Delta youths have removed the gates on the Asaba end. That will put pressure on the fragile bridge. 1 Like |
