As part of plans to effectively lock down the Lagos metropolis, the police have blocked the inbound and outbound sections of the Lagos-Ibadan express way.

This move follows the recent order by President Muhammadu Buhari, in line with local and global best practices for curbing the spread of COVID-19.

In his nationwide broadcast on Sunday, President Buhari ordered that a total lock down be observed in two states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in a bid to combat the virus.

The President said directed the cessation of all movements in Lagos and the FCT for an initial period of 14 days with effect from 11pm on Monday, 30th March 2020.

Based on the advice of the Federal Ministry of Health and the NCDC, the President also extended the restriction to Ogun State due to its close proximity to Lagos and the high traffic between the two States.

In line with the President’s order, security operatives have taken to the streets to ensure that the curfew is obeyed.

It is hoped that the containment period would be used to identify, trace and isolate all individuals that have come into contact with confirmed cases.

Below are some photos from the police exercise.

Trust my people, very stubborn, them go travel

Some people will still use another routine Some people are deaf

I guess that is the only way they can ensure the restriction holds in our case. I hope they will allow essential workers drive by though.

This one can't deter these stubborn nigerians nah......all they know how to do is apportion blame...

Simply instruction....they will not hear
Heard they impounded like 22 cars of club goers in ibadan?

Like i mean....is "stay at home" to hard to comprehend?

2mao now....they will shouting upandown....not my portion..not my portion

Many don't listen to news

They should scree them and let them enter with strict warning not to come back again

Good! If they keep this up and do it well, what happened to New Jersey and a couple others through New York might not happen to Ogun state and a couple other states in Nigeria.

But Ogun said they have suspended the lock down till Friday.

They should block the entrance point from Lagos to Abeokuta and Ibadan to Abeokuta..

And allow Ogun to make use of the few days left

I trust Nigerian police,time to make money

They are doing the work of God.

Here in Lagos, some laces are semi deserted.

Soldiers are now on the street of Ibadan enforcing the partial lock down and curfew

Anything to avoid the spread is very important, so that we can get out of this challenge as soon as possible.
