Lagos State government has denied report that it had lifted or was planning to suspend the lockdown order to allow people celebrate the Easter holiday.
Mr Gbenga Akosile, the Chief Press Secretary to Lagos State Governor, Mr Gboyega Akosile, stated in his reaction in a Twitter message
He described as false, a news report in some quarters of the online media, claiming that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has relaxed the state’s lockdown order for Easter celebrations.
Akosile, in a short statement, urged Lagosians to disregard the report and treat as another fake news, being spread by some persons to undermine the good work of the Governor in his fight against the novel coronavirus.
Akosile said: “the lockdown order was made by the Federal Government, and the state government was carried along. The Governor will not unilaterally relax the restrictions of movement. The purveyors of the fake news are mischief makers who are only interested in undermining the efforts of the state government to combat and curtail the coronavirus disease. Lagosians should be wary of fake news at this time.”
