Rumours had been flying that the state government might lift Lockdown order on the state because of the upcoming Easter celebration.
Mr. Akosile however said, citizens of the state should disregard the rumours because it is being spread by persons trying to undermine the efforts of the Lagos state governor in curbing the coronavirus pandemic.
“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.”
