Residents of Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, on Tuesday ignored the sit-at-home order given by the State Government.

Our correspondent observed there was low complaince with the directives as activities in the state remained as usual with trading activities on the prowl in some areas visited.

The order was enforced by soldiers, operatives of the Department of State Services , police, men of the Ekiti State Peace Corps,Ekiti State Traffic Management Agency, Federal Road Safety Corps and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps. The security personnel mounted barricades at all the entry points and highways , while their men took over major junctions like Ijigbo, Okeyinmi, Fajuyi and Odo Ado to control in and outflow of humans and vehicles .
