However, only those on essential duties are exempted from the order, as stated by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who warned that security operatives will be deployed across the state to enforce the directive.

Joseph Pessu, who was out of his home during the lockdown, was flagged down by a team of security operatives but he allegedly refused to stop for proper identification and this resulted in a purse.

Eye witnesses who are the sources said the officers triggered the gun and fired at Pessu’s bike tyres during the chase before one officer shot him dead.

His corpse was said to have been taken to Police Command in Delta.

The man’s death annoyed youths in the area and they took to the streets to protest in spite of the “14-days stay-at-home” directive.
