    Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Thursday effected the arrests of 14 Persons hidden in two trailers conveying cattle from Adamawa State to Port Harcourt.

    He also directed the State Ministry of Health to conduct tests on the 14 persons to ascertain their coronavirus status. He said: “This fight has nothing to do with individuals.
