Gov. Umahi’s Anti-COVID19 Team Intercepts Motorists Conveying Fugitives Into Ebonyi State

Governor David Nweze Umahi’s led ‘Anti-COVID19 Compliance Team’, on Sunday, arrested motorists, fugitives trying to sneak into Ebonyi State despite the lockdown order by the Governor to curtail the spread of the dreaded Coronavirus pandemic.

The incident happened at Ivo Local Government Area of the State.

The team intercepted vehicles, fully loaded with fugitives journeying through Akaeze-Ishiagu into the state.

Some others were also intercepted sneaking into the state on foot.

The bus drivers had charged and collected a huge sum of money from some of the fugitives before the team of the Governor intercepted them.

As at the time of filing this report, Governor Umahi and his team are still on inspection to ascertain the level of compliance with the directives of the state government at Akaeze, Ivo LGA.

The governor noted that there is leakage at the boundaries and reminded all LGA Chairmen, Coordinators, and other government appointees that their jobs are hanging on their ability to tighten the boundaries in their localities to ensure that we don’t allow Covid19 entrance into the state.
