The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered
full enforcement of the COVID-19 Health Protection Regulations.
The executive order was signed into law by President
Muhammadu Buhari on January 26.
Adamu ordered Assistant Inspectors General of Police in the
17 zonal commands, Commissioners of Police in 36 and the Federal Capital
Territory to comply by ensuring immediate implementation.
Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba made the
announcement in a statement on Monday.
Adamu said the regulation gives the Nigeria Police and other
agencies of government the powers to implement and prosecute defaulters.
Police officers will target public places, religious
centers, offices, schools, event centres, bars, clubs, malls banks, public
transport vehicles, among others.
They are to enforce restrictions on gatherings and the use
of face masks.
Adamu advised the public to voluntarily comply with the
provisions of the law for general safety.
The IGP, however, cautioned officers to be firm,
professional, civil and respect citizens while enforcing the order.
