The Deputy Governor, Mr. Kayode Alabi, had specifically stated hours of market between 10am and 4pm, but residents and sellers didn’t adhere.
According to reports, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Abimnola Sokoya, stated this in a a letter addressed to Iyaloja and Babaloja in Kwara State, urging them to strictly adhere in compliance with directives. He noted that further violation will result in legal actions.
The statement reads: “It has been observed that traders in your market have been flouting the Kwara government directives on curtailment of the spread of Covid-19 by allowing market activities beyond 10am-4pm, and also operating without face masks as ordered by the government.
“You are hereby warned that any further violation of this order will attract legal consequences. I expect your strict compliance please.”
Reports shows that 8 new cases were also recorded in Kwara and as residents keep flaunting lockdown rules, government may reverse total lockdown according to speculation.
