The COVID-19
lockdown in Ogun State has been extended till May 24.
This was disclosed
by Governor Dapo Abiodun at a press conference he addressed at his Okemosan
office in Abeokuta on Friday evening.
According to
Abiodun, he was constrained to extend the current lockdown because of the
increase in community transmission of Coronavirus and Ogun resident’s refusal
to obey government directives to stem the tide of the virus.
“In view of the
increase in community transmission and poor compliance with lockdown measures,
we are constrained to retain the current ease of lockdown,” Abiodun said.
The Governor
explained that people will be allowed to come out for essential business
activities on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, between the hours of 7am and 5pm.
Abiodun expressed
dissatisfaction that Ogun residents are not cooperating with the government as
he accused them of flouting all rules and regulations.
He regretted that
people still come out of their houses without face masks, while accusing
commercial drivers, tricycle and motorcycle operators of carrying beyond the
required number of passengers.
Abiodun worried that
some drivers are in the habit of giving out face masks to their passengers,
saying they collect same back when the passengers alight from their vehicles.
This, he described
as an aberration, saying anybody caught would be prosecuted.
