Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has vowed tough consequences for members of the organised transport sector who continued to breach the existing restriction order by resorting to night travels.

Adamu said the violation undermined the efforts of the Federal Government at curbing the spread of the COVID-19 disease.

According to him, 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 and cessation of movement ordered by the Federal Government.

He consequently, directed Commissioners of Police to ensure full implementation of the order, especially as it relates to night travel without being unmindful of categories of exempted persons and the fundamental human rights of Nigerians.

Adamu restated that the lockdown was for twenty-four hours daily, noting that night hours were not excluded.

He spoke through Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba, called on the leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria and the Public Transport Owners of Nigeria Association, amongst others, to caution their members to strictly adhere to the restriction order, warning that violators will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
