The second case was recorded three days later, while the partial lockdown was still on. Then came the unexpected arrival of 127 returnees from Ivory Coast shortly after the second case. That sporadically shot the number of persons in isolation from two to 129, necessitating the imposition of a two-week sit-at-home order which came into effect midnight March 31, 2020 to contain the spread of the virus and keep our people safe. The decision to impose a lockdown on the State was a painful one, but its outcomes have proven that we took the best decision as no new case was recorded during the two-week total lockdown period.

| Family › Child Marriage In Nigeria:a Reflection Of Some Contradictions In Laws-bar Odunay by Honbright(op): 7:34am On Apr 13, 2020 |
By Tunde Olorungbotemi Child marriage is prevalent in societies /communities where poverty is endemic and the proceeds gotten from giving out a girl child are most used to cater for other members of the family, VOICE AIR Media reports.

We thus state categorically that any such link asking for the bio-data of Nigerians as beneficiaries of monetary handout is FAKE. This is obviously a SCAM, an attempt to fleece and defraud Nigerians by, perhaps, collecting their vital bio-data for a nefarious objective orchestrated by masterminds of the advertisement on social media. Atiku Abubakar, his businesses or charity organization is not in the know of this purported plan and the accompanying advertorial. The website address, https//www.atikufoundation.online, given by the scammers for individuals to apply, is unknown to the former Vice President. As a patriotic and law abiding citizen, the Waziri Adamawa had pledged his modest public donation to the Federal Government through the Priam Group to support government’s effort in fighting the spread of Corona virus in Nigeria and in providing succour to the most vulnerable of people amid the ravaging pandemic. In addition, he had proposed stimulus package for the most vulnerable for consideration by government. We hereby call on relevant security agencies to endeavor to unmask these scammers and ensure that they are brought to book and their evil plots against Nigerians nipped in the bud.

GOVERNOR’S BRIEFING ON THE UPDATE ON THE FIGHT AGAINST CORONAVIRUS IN THE STATE OF OSUN My Dear People of The State of Osun. You will recall that three days ago, I addressed you on the first recorded case of the novel Coronavirus in the State, which was confirmed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC. Sadly, a second person has tested positive, meaning our State now has two confirmed cases of Covid-19. Though the first case is stable and receiving adequate medical care, it has become imperative to rev up measures to keep our citizens safe. Following a review of our current situation, we have in addition to the subsisting measures taken in the past one week, decided to shut down all our land boundaries, effective from midnight, Sunday, March 29, 2020. In addition, a complete lockdown of the State will come into effect from midnight, Tuesday, March 31, 2020. We believe this is the way to go, if we must contain the spread of this virus. To this end, we urge citizens and residents to take advantage of the hours between now and Tuesday to stock up provisions that will last two weeks in the first instance. During the lockdown, there will be no movement within the State. The closed boundaries also means there will be no inter-state movements. However, those on essential duties such as health personnel, fire services, environmental officials, security personnel, power and water supply agencies, media and telecommunication officers will be on duty. Also, pharmaceutical and medical outfits will be allowed to open. We have mandated and mobilised the State’s taskforce and security operatives to enforce measures to the letter. We, therefore, strongly advise our people to remain in their homes during the period of the lockdown.
