On Sunday, two hotels in Rivers state were pulled down on the orders of Nyesom Wike, the governor.

Wike, who supervised the demolition, said the action was taken because the operators of the hotel did flouted the lockdown directive.

As part of measures to curb the spread of coronavirus in the state, Wike had ordered a total closure of hotels, schools, worship centres and other places were people gather.

He had warned residents that failure to comply with the lockdown directive would attract stiff penalties.

The governor said the demolition of the hotels would serve as a deterrent but the social media is divided over his action.

Below are some reactions from Twitter:

NLS Class of 1988 Raises Alarm Over School Abductions, Demands Urgent Action
ADIJAT ADELEYE @50: A DESTINY JOURNEY; NEW HOPE FOR IFO/EWEKORO
Primate Ayodele blasts Remi Tinubu over abducted school children
ADC To Adopt Kwankwaso Loyalist for Kano Guber, Promises Gawuna Funding, Ticket, Slots

Wike was showing necessary action and ensuring security agencies do their job well. He was conmended for that by many & rightly so. But going on to demolish an hotel is definitely way out of order. That sort of action is really condemnable. A fine should have been appropriate.

— Dr Dípò Awójídé (@OgbeniDipo) May 10, 2020

He should fine the hotel, they pay and another gets the memo, disobeys the law, gets fined and another gets the memo.

The circle keeps going on and on.

That's how we enable anyhowness in Nigeria. No one wants to face the consequences of their action.

— Nwo-Diali 𓃵 (@Manlike_ED) May 10, 2020

If you really think Wike is doing all these because he deeply cares for the people of Rivers State, you are joking. All I see a man who is power drunk.

— Babanla (@biolakazeem) May 10, 2020

Wike has always been an "emperor" starting from his days in Obio Akpor LGA. Rivers people knew but voted him to spite Ameachi. Let them enjoy their choice abeg.

— BallastB (@Bolarewaju12) May 10, 2020

Sometimes eh we humans like to learn the hard way. There was a law put in place he even called all rulers and told them they should help implement the law. He also warned but am sure the owner was thinking that wike was just making empty treats. Wike showed them who is boss #Wike

Those people asking me stupid questions earlier today cause of Gov. Wike, this is elrufai, goan beat him pic.twitter.com/XD44Wc7avy

Welcome to Rivers State where 1 man ( Wike ) makes the law, interpretes it and enforces it beneath the cheers of an army of uninformed and unemployed youths.

This governor is a member of the body of benchers, a body that is supposed to regulate the legal profession in Nigeria. pic.twitter.com/zu7fTOoDJv
