Recall that Ekiti state Governor , Dr Kayode Fayemi has announced 12 hour dusk to Dawn curfew in the state as part of measures to stem the spread of Corona virus pandemic
However, Nigerians on seeing the post expressed their points of views. Here are some of the reactions culled for you;

If anyone thinks a corporate body like Punch organised the smuggling, you’re definitely not brilliant. I understand staff do some illegal things on their own which I believe the driver single-handedly did in this case. He needs to lose his job, be arrested and jailed.

A bank in Sango ~2005 caught its bullion van driver smuggling rice and various things into Nigeria any time he has offic duty around Idi Iroko. This is likely another driver’s side gig gone wrong. Now Punch is going to be responsible. Terrible stuff
