Governor Nyesom Wike has earlier last month Stormed Caverton Helicopters, Arrests Pilots For violation Of coronavirus movement restrictions. The State Governor Nyesom Wike also arrested two pilots from Caverton Offshore Support.

Nyesom Wike led the team of some security operatives to arrest the pilots of the Caverton Helicopters in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

The pilots were arrested for illegally moving people into the Nigerian state.

According to Wike, the Caverton aircraft had been used to fly in unknown people, in defiance of the coronavirus quarantine measures. They were delivered to the Air Force base in Port Harcourt.

Rivers is in a “war situation”, the governor said. “We want to know who are those people you brought in so that we have to trace them to know their identity and status. Luckily we have seen the pilot and the co-pilot. They will assist the police to assist in identifying them.”
