The Police in Lagos have vowed to commence the arrest of any resident of the state caught not using a face mask in public.
The Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, disclosed this in an interview with The Nation.
He said the command has arrested 3,802 persons between April and June for not wearing face masks, adding that all the suspects were charged to court and sentenced accordingly.
“We have been enforcing the law. We have arrested 3,802 people for not using face masks and 12,900 suspects were held for flouting various COVID-19 guidelines since the commencement of the lockdown in April.
“They were all charged to court. But we are going to be stricter now because we have noticed that some people do not wear at all while others hang it on their chins. That is not the purpose for the directive.
