Omole added that the curfew placed throughout the state would be strictly enforced, “except for those that can prove that they are on essential services.”

He added that the State COVID-19 Response Committee put in place by Ekiti State Government and other relevant enforcement agencies would be going round to ensure compliance with the new directives, adding: “Any person or group of persons caught violating the guidelines put in place to curtail the pandemic in the state will be prosecuted and sanctioned accordingly.”
