The Ekiti State Government has instructed security agencies at all the state’s borders and checkpoints to henceforth carry out rigorous checks on vehicles conveying essential commodities across the length and breadth of the state.
Egbeyemi, in a statement on Wednesday by his Special Assistant , Odunayo Ogunmola, said security agencies are empowered to scrutinise the goods being transported in the state on a bid to look out for persons who may be hiding to enter illegally and to ensure that illegal goods are not brought into the state.
The Deputy Governor noted that most of the COVID-19 cases recorded in Ekiti State were caused by non-residents who illegally entered the state in violation of the orders of the government and appropriate authorities. Egbeyemi said: “This government will not fold its arms and allow some individuals to sabotage its efforts in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and safeguarding the health of the people.
