Report reaching Observers Times has it that there has been for the past three days an increase in the influx of Almajiris and other young men of Kano, Kaduna, Jigawa and Adamawa origins into Lokoja the state capital of Kogi State.

According to eyewitness account, these people are running away from their various states in the wake of the outbreak of Covid 19 in their states of origin.

These people come in their hundreds in trucks. Especially at night, he said.

The state governor, Bello had earlier this week, claimed that the Kogi state government had developed an application to test Covid 19. This did not go down well with Nigerians and it was met with negative reactions from all quarters.

The state government is yet to lockdown the state, citing that since other states have been locked down, there was no need to take any precautionary measures in that regard.

We call on the state government to urgently lockdown the state capital to forestall any outbreak of this pandemic - An eyewitness says.

Make sure that your governor restricts entry of these people to your states. I know that your governor is sympathetic to fulani herdsmen because he might want to be in the good books of the northerners but he should always bear in mind that politics with the lives of Deltans in this crucial time would be address by God and even his family might be infected
