The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, contrary to a directive by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday ordered police commands not to exempt anybody, including workers on essential duties, when enforcing the ban on interstate movements and the nationwide curfew.

But the IGP Adamu has rescind the barring of Journalists and other workers. My take it that CP Odumosu is becoming power drunk. Did other CPs in other states bar essential workers. On the day the curfew started he harrassed journalists, even the Chairman of Crime Reporters CRAN
