A mobile court in Abuja has arraigned not less than 43 violators of COVID-19 guidelines today.
The Violators who were earlier arrested from different parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by the Taskforce on Enforcement of COVID-19 Guidelines were on Monday afternoon dragged before a mobile court sitting at the Eagle Square, Abuja. Presiding Magistrate Idayat Akani summarily charged all the accused for gross violation of the “Corona virus Disease (COVID-19) Health Protection Regulation, 2021”, which was signed on 26th January, 2021 by President Muhammadu Buhari. Three of the accused were released because they were minors, two of them were granted bail, even as some who had money immediately paid different categories of fines, ranging from N2000 to about N3000. Others were made to carry out community services by sweeping Abuja streets, depending on their degree of violation.
