COVID-19: Ekiti commences stricter checks of vehicles to stop illegal entries
The Deputy Governor, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi, said security agencies would henceforth search the interiors of all vehicles conveying food, medical and pharmaceuticals, beverages, agricultural products and construction materials coming in and going out of Ekiti State.
He urged the people of the state to be more security conscious in their various localities and report strange faces and movements they notice to the government and security agencies. He reiterated the determination of the Dr. Kayode Fayemi administration to protect all residents from being infected with the Coronavirus hence the need to block all illegal entries into the state.
“We hereby direct officers and men of security agencies at the borders and checkpoints to henceforth scrutinise the interiors of all vehicles coming into or passing through the state in search of the people who might be hiding inside.
