As Plateau State goes into a total lockdown from midnight Thurday, April 9, the Government has set up 10 mobile courts to prosecute violators of the order.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Dan Manjang, the establishment of the mobile courts is meant to ensure enforcement and compliance with the directive of government which is aimed at protecting the citizens from the Coronavirus pandemic and also ensuring that the entire State is fumigated.
The statement also advised members of the public to comply with the “no movement” order while those exempted because of their essential services are to carry their identify cards at all times.
While urging security agencies to be firm in enforcing compliance, the Governor wants them to remain professional and observe all rules of engagement warning that any security personnel who over-reaches his mandate by engaging in corrupt conduct or brutality will be held accountable.
