coronavirusThe police spokesperson in the state, Peter Okasanmi, disclosed the figures in a telephone interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday morning.
He noted that despite the efforts of the police and other security operatives, some individuals and religious organisations defy the directives. Our correspondent, who witnessed the arrest, observed that the law enforcement agents stormed the mosque vicinity at about 1 p.m. when they had concluded the prayers.Reacting to this, the police spokesperson decried the nonchalance of some of the residents.“We don’t want any congregation of any type. Anybody found congregating for whatever reasons, whether religious or any other reason, is going against the order. And we are on ground to enforce that order,” he said.
But the group, Coalition in Defence of Nigerian Democracy and Constitution in a press statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES, said Africa and other third world nations should only implement COVID-19 preventive measures “that are sensitive to their own peculiarities, to avert tragedies that could trigger some unintended calamities.”
“We are appealing to the leaderships in Nigeria and other African countries to immediately fashion out the best possible strategies to implement a structured lockdown, which can include structured working/marketing hours and days, with massive sanitisation/fumigation of these markets, clustered businesses, the streets, while insisting the people comply reasonably with the social distancing and handwashing measures.
Who cares and sends u? No govt. has d carte blanche to order arrest of people moving without offence. Locomotion is no crime. Law enforcement agents/Govt. can only morally order people/passers to return their motorcycles back home over the situation. U have no right to impound.
Yes, because motorcycles were spreading the virus. And as you confiscate them, you won't be infected.
Why, this is very bad using this ill opportunity to enrich una fucking pocket .
This is serious wickedness and yet they will complain of hike in crime rate
