The weekend lockdown started more than a month ago when Gov Dapo Abiodun relaxed the COVID-19 lockdown in the state.
He said total lockdown should be restricted to Saturdays and Sundays only.
Abiodun's position was that relaxing the lockdown totally would give people the believe that the war against COVID-19 had been won.
Since last week, Abiodun was expected to address the press on the further ease of lockdown, but he did not.
On Saturday morning, the state Government posted on its facebook page that, “WEEKEND LOCKDOWN IS STILL ON IN OGUN STATE!"
Also, the Senior Special Assistant to Gov Abiodun on New Media, Emmanuel Ojo, said, “WEEKEND LOCKDOWN IS STILL ON IN OGUN STATE! The status quo subsists."
This has since generated angry reactions from Ogun residents who querried the rationale behind locking down the state during weekends when people are allowed to go out from Monday to Friday.
They asked to know if Coronavirus only comes out from hiding on weekends only.
