The Taraba State Government on Tuesday announced that there will be a total lockdown throughout the state beginning from Wednesday, April 22, at 11:00 pm and all violators of this directive will be arrested and prosecuted.

This was contained in the statewide broadcast by the deputy governor, Engr. Haruna MANU where he addressed Tarabans on matters relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the decisions taken by the state government to further safeguard the people from the affliction.

Engr. Manu said that this decision has become necessary in view of the increasing number of confirmed cases in our neighbouring states stressing that in spite of the fact that we have not recorded any confirmed case in Taraba so far, we must not be complacent.

The deputy governor said that the state government has, therefore, resolved to take the following decisive steps.

“VEHICLES FOUND ON THE ROAD DURING THE PERIOD OF THE LOCKDOWN WILL BE IMPOUNDED.

“A MOBILE COURT WILL BE ESTABLISHED TO PROMPTLY TRY OFFENDERS AT THE VARIOUS POINTS OF ENTRY INTO THE STATE.

“REGULATED MOVEMENT OF THE PUBLIC IS ONLY ALLOWED BETWEEN 10AM AND 2PM ON WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY TO ALLOW CITIZENS TO PURCHASE HOUSEHOLD ESSENTIALS.

“THE ONLY EXCEPTIONS ARE WORKERS ON ESSENTIAL DUTIES SUCH AS HEALTH WORKERS, PHARMACEUTICAL SHOPS, FUEL STATIONS, MEDIA HOUSES ETC.

“SECURITY OPERATIVES ARE TO HENCEFORTH CHECK PRIVATE AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES VIOLATING THE PRINCIPLES OF SOCIAL DISTANCING BY OVERLOADING THEIR VEHICLES WITH PASSENGERS.

“THAT SECURITY OPERATIVES SHOULD CHECK THE INFLUX OF COMMERCIAL TRICYCLES POPULARLY CALLED KEKE NAPEP, FROM UNKNOWN DESTINATIONS INTO JALINGO METROPOLIS AND OTHER TOWNS IN THE STATE.

“THAT THE SECURITY OPERATIVES SHOULD ARREST ANY UNAUTHORIZED MOTORCYCLE MOVEMENT WITHIN JALINGO METROPOLIS SINCE THE BAN ON THE USE OF MOTORCYCLES FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES IS STILL IN FORCE.

“WORSHIP CENTRES, SUCH AS MOSQUES AND CHURCHES ARE HEREBY CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

“ALL WEDDING CEREMONIES, NAMING CEREMONIES AND OTHER PARTIES REMAIN SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.”

The deputy governor said that security operatives have been ordered to mount surveillance checkpoints in Ibi, Wukari, Mayo-Lope, Zing, and Takum-Katsina/Ala entry points.

That the security operatives should work with Local Government Chairmen of Takum, Ussa,
Kurmi, and Sardauna Local Government Councils to seal off entry points along the Cameroon border.

He thanked Tarabans for their cooperation so far on the COVID-19 preventive measures introduced by the state government and urged all to be more patient and vigilant so we can jointly keep the pandemic away from our dear state.

Engr. Manu also reminded Tarabans on the importance of regular washing of hands, use of sanitizers, social distancing and the need for us to stay at home as these have proved globally to be effective weapons against the spread of the Coronavirus.

Taraba, welcome to the lockdown league.

Cant imagine what will happen if this lockdown remains for another one month

This lockdown na serious was oh

Good morning.taraba
How was your night?

Problem problem, another problem.

Everywhere lockdown without palliative, How can a common man survive.

NCDC says COVID-19 will eventually go round all states. Lockdown may slow down the spread, but it's people's determination to cooperate with the government that would do the magic.

My worry is the elites, these set of people are so arrogant and irresponsible to put it mildly. They are the reason why we are where we are now. They think they know, but are empty upstairs.

Hmmmm..... Lockdown is good if done properly, u're locking down without providing all that'll make the lockdown less stressful for the citizens.

You c all this policy copycats, must you do what others are doing? Can't we come up with better initiatives based on our states condition.

Now USA citizens are protesting lockdown, just wait a few more weeks and you will c put darling leaders doing exactly what US's policy will be.

Old men and copy copy. (Not too young to rule) younger citizens would had been braver to take extreme decisions to help move the country.

But in politics the more you know the less you see.

I pray today that the Lord of host, the ruler and the healer will heal Nigeria and purge out unwanted and distractive elements destroying this nation. In the name of Jesus

It's not about lock down, lock down. Government should take the masses into consideration. How can people survive with no income?

Tarabans sounds like Taliban

Weather lockdown or no lockdown
The only way to contain and resolve this pandemic is for government to take care of her citizens and no one would risk his or her life going out
Hunger virus is now the major problem that makes this pandemic to be escalating in Nigeria

The human race come be like animals for inside cage this 2020

This will help the poor ones

Anoda state wants to cash out. Lol

Nooo, they should wait, until the entire state is completely infested by the virus before shutdown. When southern states are busy trying to see what they can do to stop the entry of the virus, they were busy saying north won't close their borders, can u imaging the nonsense. I know northern region will be the region to delay Nigeria from coming out of this shit as quick as possible. I don't know why they have deliberately decided to remain uneducated and backward.

Nawa o...osun is now free, how true?
