“He immediately ordered the arrest of the owner who claimed he was only preparing nkwobi.
“Some of the customers escaped while some who were waiting to finish their bottles were also arrested but were allowed to go with a strong warning.”
Disu warned that the operatives will keep eyes on the spot even as he advised people to stay at home to save themselves from getting infected with Cororavirus.
