COVID-19: Imo governor imposes dusk to dawn curfew

The Imo State governor, Hope Uzodinma has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in the state in a fresh move to check the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

The Governor gave the order in an Executive Order No 001, 2020, even as he made it clear that the State is now on total lockdown because of the COVID-19.

He further stated that the curfew starts from 6 pm till 6 am effective Saturday, April 18 “till further notice”.

He maintained that he has an obligation to preserve the lives of Imo people and was committed to the enforcement of the total lockdown of movements of people in the state.

Consequently, all borders leading in and out of the state are shut. Also, Imo indigenes returning from outside the state shall be admitted on the condition of proper identification and on condition that they subject themselves to COVID-19 test and shall be quarantined for 14 days before entering into the state.

He therefore advised Imo people to take the Executive Order seriously as security operatives are prepared to enforce it.

It will be recalled that recently in one of his statewide broadcast the governor promised to either relax the COVID-19 lockdown or tighten them if the need arises.
