The Borno State Government has recommended the suspension of three imams for defying the lockdown order in the state.
The state deputy governor, Umar Kadafur, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, in Maiduguri on Friday while monitoring compliance with the stay-at-home directive in the state capital.
“It is unfortunate that some people are taking the COVID-19 pandemic lightly, which explains why they were defying the lockdown order. He said the surveillance team will enforce the lockdown directive, apprehend and isolate travellers who attempted to sneak into the town through different entry points into the state.
“Another point being utilised by motorists is Gombe to Biu and Damboa then Maiduguri, while in some cases they travel through Madagali to Gwoza and Bama then into Maiduguri.
