A statement issued by Special Adviser to Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Media and Communication, Mr Muyiwa Adekeye, said, the Deputy Governor was alarmed that some people take the Coronavirus disease for granted, which explains why they are defying the lockdown.
Kaduna State government had reviewed the 24-hour lockdown last Wednesday, by giving a two-day window of Tuesday and Wednesday every week, to enable residents to buy food and restock other essential commodities.
The Deputy Governor noted that the restriction of movement has been serially violated, while threatening to revert to the 24-hour lockdown.
