He said a good number of people, that he could not readily ascertain, had been arrested and prosecuted in different parts of the state by mobile courts for flouting the order.

The PRO, therefore, said: “Anybody who does not have any reasonable purpose of moving around should stay wherever they are to avoid contracting or spreading the virus.”

He noted that the Federal Government had put the inter-state movement ban in place, to curb the spread of the deadly virus in the overall interest of Nigerians.
