“Government will have no option than to shut the market for any form of a business transaction if violations of the COVID-19 protocols continue.”
The warning is contained in a statement signed and issued on Saturday in Abakaliki by Mr Uchenna Orjii, state Commissioner for Information and Orientation.
The commissioner said that Umahi had observed that over 80 per cent of traders and buyers did not use face masks, hand sanitisers or washed their hands in running water. The commissioner said the governor also observed with dismay that traders were chased from the market at an unauthorised period while market leaders collected N50 from each of them to allow them into the market.
