COVID-19: Traffic Jams Return to Lagos Despite Stay-at-home Order

Barely seven days into the 14-day stay-at-home order issued by the federal government and enforced by Lagos State government, traffic snarls have resurfaced in parts of the state as antsy Lagosians have begun to flout the directive.

This warning was corroborated two days later by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who said the ongoing lockdown in the state might be extended beyond 14 days “if there is a need”, or depending on the situation of things and consultation with the federal government. On Lagos island, pockets of traffic were the order of the day as motorists also flouted the stay-at-home order.

Although almost all supermarkets in the axis complied with compulsory use of thermometer and sanitizers, and 20 customers per entrance, they were however lax about social distancing. In trying to enforce the law in that axis, the Rapid Response Squad operatives, led by its Commander, DCP Tunji Disu, tried to restore sanity.
