By A Correspondent- The unidentified woman told a local publication that she walked from Epworth into town unaware that people had letters to accompany them for movement during the 21 days national lockdown.

Dressed in rags and picking up plastic bottles for resale in the CBD despite the 21 day Lockdown, the woman said:

“I am just picking empty plastic bottles for sale and I am not aware that we are not allowed to carry our business in town.

I am used to walk in a way of saving money since I have two children to look after following my separation with my abusive husband. What surprised me upon arriving in town is the number of people and the closure of shops but I decided to fulfil my purpose of coming,” she said.

The woman exposed visibility of city council and police officers on day 9 in the Central Business District.

A survey by a local publication on Day nine of the 21-day national lockdown saw an increase in the volume of traffic in the CBD as compared to previous days. 

Supermarkets, Banks Automated Teller Machines, government offices and few others remained the points where a number of people would be seen.-StateMedia
