The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Muhammed Adamu has warned that the restriction order is still in force during and after the Easter celebration.
The IGP has directed the Commissioners of Police in States where the social restriction orders have been emplaced to continue with the enforcement of the orders.

Mr. Adamu gave the order in a press release issued by the force public relations officer, DCP Frank Mba enjoined citizens to stay at home, stay safe and emulate Christ’s Virtues of obedience during the period.
He said: “We felicitate with the Nigerian Christian Community, as Christendom commemorates the Crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the IGP calls on religious leaders in Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as well as other States affected by the restriction orders, to continue to cooperate with relevant government agencies and use their leadership positions to encourage worshippers to observe prayers and worship programmes in the confines of their homes.
” This call becomes necessary in order to curtail the community spread of the COVID-19 pandemic which has immensely challenged humanity across all spheres of life.

“The IGP expresses deep concerns that for the first time in the annals of history, circumstances have compelled us to emplace restrictions on social gatherings, which inevitably is also affecting religious programmes of all faiths.


” He, therefore, enjoins Nigerians to see the restrictions in the light of the symbolism of Easter which connotes sacrifice, tolerance, perseverance, love, and ultimate triumph,”

the statement read.

However, the IGP reassured the citizenry that the Nigerian police would remain steadfast and committed in the duty of ensuring public safety and security during the Easter period and beyond.
