While commending the citizens for their compliance with the curfew,the Governor disclosed that so far over 50% of the looted items have been recovered and more are being surrendered.
He noted that based on the demonstration of remorse by some of the looters government subsequently resolved to review the implementation strategy of the Executive Order which was signed on Wednesday.
He said ,” Part of this review is the fact that the House-to-House search will no longer necessarily be in the form initially envisaged. We encourage landlords to talk to their tenants; Neighbours to talk to each other and parents to talk to their children, should there be any remnants of the loot in any of the households. Whistle blowers are doing their best in the recovery process, I encourage them to do more.
“In the midst of all these, we must all resist the actions and utterances of those whose aim is to gain political mileage over our collective tragedy and misfortunes. Turning the unfortunate mayhem into an issue for political discourse, is the height of insensitivity whose level we cannot be reduced to.”
