Anaedoonline.ng months back reported that Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State directed the 17 Local Government chairmen, neigbourhood watch groups, and traditional rulers in the state to man their council borders to contain the spread of coronavirus.
A statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof Simon Ortuanya, on Thursday said this followed reports that persons on non-essential duties had continued to traverse the borders of the state.
The state recently recorded a new case of COVID-19 after two previous cases were discharged.
The governor directed the council chairmen to also mobilise development centre administrators, councillors, town union presidents general and youth leaders to man the state borders, especially those shared with contiguous states.
According to him, vehicles of erring operators would be impounded and handed over to law enforcement agents for appropriate action.
