People using fake passes to violate lockdown in Akwa Ibom – Police

Many residents driving around Akwa Ibom metropolis during the lockdown are using fake security passes, the police have alleged.

“The CP observed with dismay that the passes issued to those on essential duties have been largely abused to the extent that the passes are photocopied and issued to all manner of persons thereby making it relatively difficult by the security agencies to identify the original copies of the pass,” the police spokesperson in Akwa Ibom, N-Nudam Fredrick, said in a statement Monday evening.

The Nigerian Medical Association , Akwa Ibom State, said in a statement that “most of their members could not go to work because of the development.

“To this end, NMA-AKS advises all her members that in the event of being denied passage while on your way to work, please be civil, do not resist, but return home and notify your superior at work,” Mr Nyoyoko had said.
