He explained that the directive is to ensure their children are safe as many people and some evil minds may capitalise on that to commit crimes such as kidnapping.
According to him, the traditional council doesn’t want any bad incident to be linked to the observation, hence parents must ensure that their children are home.
Additionally, shops and other businesses with the exception of pharmacies and few restaurants will also be closed down.
