Some Lagos residents have provoked outrage on social media after they were seen en masse working out along Gbagada-Oshodi expressway, despite the lockdown and ban on large gatherings in the state.
TheNewsGuru reports that on Monday 6th of April, the internet was flooded with photos of a large gathering of people engaging in various fitness exercises along the highway.
This was despite the lockdown orders by the state government to control the spread of COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by coronavirus.
The development has since sparked outrage on Twitter where users are expressing their annoyance and calling for the arrest and immediate isolation of all persons involved.
“Understand this is Gbagada Expressway today. Nigerians can’t obey simple instructions to stay alive. By their disobedience, everyone is at risk. @jidesanwoolu you need to have patrols all over the city enforcing the lockdown. Many ppl won’t comply unless forced to,” a Twitter user said.
“I am baffled by Nigerians. There is a crowd of people arraigning Funke and doing the same thing she’s being arrested for. Oh, and they’ve turned Gbagada into a gym. We can’t afford to have 1000 deaths a day. I don’t even know if this will make people listen. I’m tired,” another user said.
