The Defence Headquarters(DHQ), said the Nigerian armed force
is ready to enforce president Muhammadu Buhari’s directive on the
restriction of movements following the lockdown in the Federal Capital
Territory, Lagos and Ondo States to curtail the spread of the novel
coronavirus in the country.
It has therefore appealed to the public to support the efforts of
government in this trying period of the fight against COVID 19.
President Buhari, had during his broadcast to the nation over the
COVID-19, pandemic on Sunday, announced the cessation of all movements
in Lagos and the FCT for an initial period of 14 days with effect from
11pm on Monday, 30th March 2020, based on the advice of the Federal
Ministry of Health and the NCDC.
The president had said “All citizens in these areas are to stay in
their homes. Travel to or from other states should be postponed. All
businesses and offices within these locations should be fully closed
during this period”.
The DHQ, had a media briefing said the military would enforce the order to the later.
At a media briefing, the coordinator Defence Media Operations, Major
General john enench, said “the Armed Forces of Nigeria is to implement
all restriction on movement in line with the Federal Government of
Nigeria. For the avoidance of doubt this include the Presidential
Directive given by the President Commander In Chief, during his address
to the Nation on the COVID 19 Pandemic, on 29 March 2020.
“The High Command of Nigerian Military hereby solicit for the support
of the general public in this trying period of the fight against COVID
19. This can be achieved by adhering to all the medical and
administrative guidelines being provided by government at all levels.
Enenche while noting that the military would act in support of the
civil authorities, said anyone who violates the order may have
themselves to blame even as he explained that the issue of penalty for
defaulters remains the sole responsibility of the police and not the
military.
He said military personnel to be deployed for the operations have been throughly trained on how to go about their duties.
“For the issue of Penalty, penalty would be left for the police, it
is not for the military because i shouldn’t tell you those who flouts
the directives for staying at home or wandering from one place to the
other . It should be with the police because it is their first
responsibility.
“What we normally do is that we provide aids to civil authorities so
as I speak with you we now have the legality to block them if they come
that is just our own so but the penalty, of course there is penalty for
flouting any instructions or orders. There must be law and order and
from my general knowledge i know that there should be a penalty but the
police would give that penalty.”
