In other news, Nollywood actor and politician, Yul Edochie has wondered why most Nigeria Policemen don’t wear protective gears like face masks and hand gloves while carrying out duties amid Coronavirus Pandemic.

The well outspoken actor took to his social media page to express his concern as he wrote:

“I hardly see our police men wearing face masks and hand gloves while engaging people on a daily basis. They stop cars and come very close while speaking to drivers. Are they immuned to Covid19? Abi the vaccine don first reach their hand”.
