With
barely 35 hours down the line to the end of the 72 hours lockdown in Sierra
Leone, the Provincial Security Coordinator at the Office of National Security,
John Jia Kangbai has warned citizens to continue to adhere to the lockdown
policies despite there has been high level of compliance from residents in Makeni,
Magburaka, Biriwa, and other parts of the Northern Region.
Mr.
Kangbai, while speaking to Northern Times about the security measures in place
during the three days lockdown noted that: he is impressed by what he have seen
so far in all major towns and cities toured during this period.
“Precisely
the people of Makeni and Magburak have been obedient to the lockdown laws but
in as much as that they have started on such note, let me also warn them all
that they should not contravene the lockdown measures but ensure that they
remain cautious that the lockdown is slated to last for 72 hours and for no
reason my office and partners will not compromise the stated number of days for
lockdown, he stressed.
However,
security forces since 6:00AM on Sunday mounted joint patrol teams and stationed
both Soldiers and Police officers within the city of Makeni and beyond and they
are yet to announce an arrest of any suspected defaulter.
