Crime rates have been on the increase since the lockdown started in some parts of Nigeria- a measure adopted by Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari to contain the spread of the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
Confiance News gathered that there have been reported cases of daylight robberies and even rapes. Although, Okigwe Local Government Area (LGA) in Imo State is not among the three states (Lagos, Ogun and Abuja) that have been on lockdown since March 30, it is not surprising that it is partaking from the spillover effects of the consequences therein.

A situation that has elicited the indignation of many Nigerians who have called on the government to end the existence of SARS under the popular hashtag- #ENDSARS.
