The presidential task force National Coordinator, Dr Sani Aliyu, has warned Nigeria citizens, to ignore any fake rumour claiming there will be a national lockdown.
He said this in a short video released on Thursday claiming is a fallacy and the citizens of Nigeria should not consider it to be true.
He said, “We are aware of a fake message on WhatsApp that we’ve declared a lockdown in the country. This is absolutely not true. I call on Nigerians to please ignore this message and let’s continue with our normal activities.
“I’m also calling on the public to abide by the non-pharmaceutical interventions including wearing of face masks in the public, washing of hands and maintaining physical distancing.
“There is an established way that we send our messages to the public including declarations when it comes to infection control. So, please ignore what is being going round on WhatsApp.”
