Lagos is one obviously the leading state when it comes to the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic.
With the compliance level from residents not encouraging the lawmakers in the state passed a bill that would ensure anyone found guilty of violating government’s stay-at-home or close down order is jailed for one month.
The bill also stated that the jail term could only be substituted with 100,000 naira fine or 3 months community service.
