The police in Lagos State have begun the enforcement of the maximum of 50 people gathering order by the Lagos State government, as part of the measures to curb the spread of coronavirus.

This was disclosed on Saturday by the state police command’s spokesperson, Mr Bala Elkana, in a statement he signed and made available to Sunday Tribune.

Elkana, in the statement, said “Lagos State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that in compliance with the guidelines and directives issued by both the Federal Government and Lagos State government on prevention of the spread of coronavirus, popularly known as Covid-19, which the World Health Organisation has declared as a pandemic, it has embarked on massive enforcement of the ban order.”

He added that “to that effect, the command has deployed adequate resources across the state to ensure that the orders are fully obeyed.

“The order imposed ban on social gatherings such as wedding, naming and burial ceremonies as well as parties, clubs and religious gatherings of people more than 50. Commercial vehicles carrying passengers above capacity (overloading) are also part of this order.”

The police added that “members of the public are encouraged to avoid overcrowding themselves at bus stops, market places, business places and scenes of incidents.

“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Mr Hakeem Odumosu, called on the good people of Lagos State to obey the safety regulations put in place for the benefit of everyone.”

The police also pointed out that “we must be alive and healthy before socio-economic activities will be effective.”

According to the police, “the command has rolled out its medical team to market places for awareness creation; same goes to police detention facilities to safeguard suspects.

“The commissioner of police has ordered the immediate release of suspects arrested for minor offences, as part of preventive measures.

“Together we can prevent the spread of Covid-19. For information or complaints regarding the virus, call the following toll-free number: 080097000010; or text coronavirus to 24453.”

This whole coronahoax is just a test run to see what they can get away with. Judging by the peoples reactions so far....the deep state has us by the short and curlies. And they know it.

ever heard of H1N1. It was 100 times worse and no one noticed. This virus is real but the severity of the situation has been blown way out of proportion for political reasons. The constitution was too much trouble and needed to be scrapped. They have succeeded.

Crazy world we are living in right now. Almost makes you wonder if something else isn’t brewing while everyone is preoccupied with this Coronavirus

This is unaguably the worst global hit ever

And BRT is still operating

Well it's for our own benefit. But I still blame Govt for late intervention. If they had placed ban on all the international flight befor the first case we for no DEy here

Naija is always going to be an hypocrite in these things. Nasfat is holding service this morning o.

Brt is more than 20-50 people crowded in one bus.

Cinemas too.

But they had to make it religious.

they should check our markets and parks

The enforcement is necessary so as to curtail the spread.

I heard the task force invaded a school that had to extend their exam till Saturday, arrested some and kept the kids quarantined in the school. I hope they don't intend to shut the country down like they did in Italy. Some people won't survive it
