Speaking to journalists, during the monitoring at Brigade head Onitsha, a border point between Anambra and Delta state,Abang expressed satisfaction over the level of compliance by the people and security operatives’ conduct.
According to him, the level of compliance is satisfactory to security chiefs and we are happy with the compliance. He said the security operatives are doing all thing to make sure people see reason they must stay at home and not moving around. On why vehicles are not allowed to pass but human beings are allowed to move around, he said those people moving around are people dealing in food items and that they cannot be stopped.
“There is no how you don’t allow people going to their shops to sell food items. We cannot stop them from going to shops to attend to food need of the people” he said.
According to him, those struggling to cross either to Anambra or Delta states have reduced today when compared to previous days because many of them have understood the need for the restriction.
On allegations that some security men were collecting money to pass people and vehicles, he said there are rules for the engagement and any found violating will face the law.
