Lockdown: Police arrest 594, secure conviction of 504 in Niger

The Niger State Police Command has arrested 595 persons for allegedly violating the COVID-19 lockdown order across the state.

The Commissioner of Police, Adamu Usman, made the disclosure to the News Agency of Nigeria in Minna on Thursday.

The commissioner said such would be counter-productive and undermine the tireless efforts of the state government at curbing the spread of COVID-19. Mr Usman said already the Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers in the state had been directed to ensure full implementation of the lockdown order, especially, as it related to night trips.
