“The attention of the Akwa Ibom State Government has been drawn to a disturbing trend whereby security operatives indulge in the illegal use of their personal cars, and in some cases official vehicles, to transport passengers through our entry points into the state,” Mr Udoh said in a statement on Monday.
“Henceforth, all vehicles coming into the state; including security vehicles and those driven or owned by security personnel, will be subjected the prescribed COVID-19 entry points protocols. All service commanders in the state have been duly informed of this emerging trend,” Mr Udoh said. Mr Fredrick, a chief superintendent of police, said police officers who travel from Akwa Ibom to other states are on essential duty.PREMIUM TIMES, last month, reported how massive movement of people across the states in Nigeria, despite the ban on interstate travel may very well be an indictment on the nation’s internal security system.
