The Inspector-General of Police (I-G)Mohammed Adamu, has cautioned members of the organised transport sector against night journeys in violation of the existing restriction order by the Federal Government.
.
The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), DCP Frank Mba disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
Adamu said the development was counterproductive and would undermine the efforts of the federal government in containing the spread of COVID-19 in the country.
.
The I-G therefore, directed Commissioners of Police to ensure full implementation of the restriction order, especially as it relates to night travels.
.
He said the warning was sequel to intelligence at the disposal of the Force showing that road transport workers, especially interstate operators, had continued to defy the lockdown order.
.
According to him, the lockdown is for 24 hours daily with night hours not excluded.
