Chief Ereyitomi described the action of the military as inhumane against the people they are meant to protect just for the sake of enforcement, stressing that on no account should life be taken without engagement in combat with the soldiers.

Representative Ereyitomi further appealed to Warri residents to remain calm, maintain law and order, and comply to the Delta State Government directive on staying at home to be save as the Coronavirus mitigation battle continues in the country.
