Exxon Mobil
The Rivers State Government on Sunday
released the 22 members of staff of Exxon Mobil who were arrested for
violating the state Executive Order restricting movement in the state.
The state Attorney-General and
Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zaccheus Adangor, said the Exxon Mobil staff
were released without charges.
He said the Rivers State Government government would no
longer press charges against them, as they were released following
interventions by well-meaning Nigerians.
The attorney-general noted that he
monitored the release of the 22 Exxon Mobil staff at the state isolation
centre at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt.
He noted that the State
Government remains committed to implementing the Executive Order issued
to check the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
Security agencies had arrested the 22
staff of Exxon Mobil who entered the state from Akwa Ibom in violation
of the state Executive Order which stipulates that health authorities
ascertain the COVID-19 status of those entering the state.
