The Chairman of Khana Local Government Area, Lahteh Loolo has announced that the recently held protest by some members of the LGA calling for the release of the convicted manager of Prodest Hotel, Dr. Bariledum is illegal.
The Chairman who stated this to Journalists today, said the protest was against the social distancing directive of the state government. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the state. Loolo who expressed displeasure at the move warned against the repetition of such illegal act.
