Corps Marshal of the agency, Boboye Oyeyemi, in a statement on Tuesday, said enforcement will commence immediately and any vehicle found wanting would be seized and their owners arrested.

He said, “Except the vehicles and the occupants are accredited essential workers with proof of identification, commanding officers must ensure that the vehicles are impounded and the occupants handed over to the police for prosecution in a court of law for contravening the Presidential order on restrictions, social distance and stay at home.”
