Unconfirmed reports say the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has reportedly shut down a section of the Rumuokoro Market in Port Harcourt, over refusal to accept the old naira notes.
Eyewitnesses say the governor stormed the market and ordered its closure after reports of traders refusing to accept the old notes went viral.
They said traders were ordered to leave the market before it was locked.
The state government is yet to react to the incident.
