OYOGist.com has learned that today, residents of the capital city of Rivers State were mostly in a shopping frenzy in what could be considered as “panic buying” to restock their homes with foodstuffs, medicines and other essential commodities following the resumption of the total lockdown that would be resumed tomorrow.

Recall that the state under the distinguish leadership of Governor Nyesom Wike had earlier imposed a rather strict lockdown on residents and activities in Port Harcourt and Obior/Apkor local government areas of the state to mitigate further spread of the ravaging coronavirus pandemic.
