Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered a total lockdown in Kano State as the state continues to battle coronavirus and what the state officials termed ‘strange deaths’.
“I have directed the enforcement of a total lockdown for a period of two weeks effective immediately,” Buhari said in a national broadcast on Monday.
“The Federal Government shall deploy all the necessary human, material and technical resources to support the State in controlling and containing the pandemic and preventing the risk of further spread to neighbouring States.”
