At least 30 persons in Ondo State have been arraigned before a mobile court sitting in Akure, the state capital, for contravening the dusk-to-dawn curfew order of the state government to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
They were handed over to the police for disciplinary actions before being arraigned before Magistrate Bukola Ojo. Twenty-four persons out of the violators had earlier pleaded guilty to the offence and were later pardoned by the court. Counsel to the accused persons, Utenwojo Salihu, applied for their bail and prayed the court to always hold such cases behind closed doors.
In her ruling, Magistrate Ojo sentenced the violators to community service for seven days by cutting grass for two hours around Ogbese Market.
