COVID-19: Delta Women Protest Against Movement Restriction Extension
We gathered
that the protesting women, who were joined by youths in the area, said they
were voicing out their frustration because they could no longer contend with
hunger in their houses.
A large
number of women in Sapele, Delta State, on Wednesday took to the streets in a
peaceful demonstration to express their displeasure at the extension of
movement restriction by the state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa.
The
two-week extension is to further help curb the spread of Coronavirus in the
state.
Okowa had
on Tuesday announced the extension of the sit-at-home order and dusk to dawn
curfew to tackle the pandemic.
They said
government had failed to provide them with palliatives to cushion the effects
of the movement restriction order in place.
