“Where are you driving to after the Federal and State Government have ordered everyone to stay at home at this period of time,” he said while addressing a private car owner.

A commercial bus driver, Mr John Arinze, said people would only obey the lockdown order if the Federal Government could provide for its citizens as governments of other countries have been doing. He said if the government doesn’t provide palliative care for the citizens, it may lead the citizens to engage themselves in nefarious and ungodly activities.

“We have children and other relatives to take care of. How are we going to to take care of them if we don’t work or do you want us to steal,” he said.
