COVID-19: Ondo Police Commissioner Urges Officers To Stop Entry Of Persons Into State

Commissioner of Police in Ondo State has called on officers manning entry points to prevent anyone from sneaking into the state.

Adie said he had been receiving reports that many of the vehicles and trucks used in transporting essential commodities were being used to smuggle passengers into the state.

This, according to him, was also putting the state and residents at risk of contracting Coronavirus.  Ondo Police Commissioner Adie

Recall that there had been growing concerns on the influx of "almajiris" from North into Ondo State recently.

Speaking on the issue, Adie said, “To continue to see or hear of inter-state passenger transport vehicles into Ondo State while we (police) man all entry-points into the state puts us in bad light.

"With the effect of COVID-19 on all human endeavours, our duty to save life at this time is sacrosanct and can only be achieved when it is done with humane touch and affection.

"I will therefore warn that men in all border posts must be extremely and judiciously vigilant never to allow anybody or vehicle without the authorization of government entry into the state.

"I have directed that all trucks conveying foodstuffs and essential commodities be properly checked as some of them now hide some restive passengers along with the goods they carry."

Adie tasked the officers to display more professionalism mostly during this period of Coronavirus and lockdown in the country.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,
