    The Embassy of Indonesia in Abuja, Nigeria, has refused to allow staff work from home or observe social distancing despite the outbreak and continued spread of Coronavirus in the country, SaharaReporters can confirm.

    Despite pleas to the leadership of the high commission, staff especially Nigerian employees of the embassy have been asked to continue working without recourse to their health.

    “The High Commissioner even threatened some staff that if they refused to come to work, they will be fired.

    “This is despite the announcement by the FCT authorities that everyone should stay at home to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus,” one troubled staff said on Thursday.

    SaharaReporters gathered that the embassy authorities insisted that it cannot regard the verbal directive from the Nigerian Government for residents to work from home.

    It was also gathered that despite the matter being brought to their notice, Nigerian Government officials were yet to intervene.

    The Indonesian Embassy and in fact several other high commissions in the country employ only contract staff with no health insurance, pension, benefits or allowances.

    Nigerian authorities are aware of this gross labour law violation but have failed to act to protect citizens employed in such places.

    “They all treat Nigerians the same. Most of them reduce salaries without prior notification and they pay poorly.

    “For example, administrative staff earn between N90,000 to N120,000 while drivers, domestic help and cooks earn between N25,000 to N60,000 with no overtime and they also deny women maternity leave,” a top diplomatic source told SaharaReporters.

    At the Indonesian Embassy in Abuja, only four Nigerian staff are employed and they mostly serve in domestic capacity.

    “We are suffering in our own country. We need government to intervene and ensure that they abide by the laid down rules of their host community, Nigeria,” another staff at the Indonesian Embassy said.

    As at the time of this report, an enquiry sent to the Indonesian Embassy via email by SaharaReporters was yet to be responded to while phone numbers listed on the website of the high commission failed to connect when dialed by one of our correspondents on Thursday.

    As a way of curtailing the spread of Coronavirus in Nigeria, the federal and various state governments had adopted various measures including restricting public gatherings and advising workers to operate from their houses.

    Nigeria has 51 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and one recorded death at the moment with fears growing of a further spread if the stay-at-home order is not complied with by citizens.

  • Police will take subtle approach in enforcing movement control order (Updated)

    Police will take subtle approach in enforcing movement control order (Updated)

    Police will take subtle approach in enforcing movement control order (Updated) 4

    KUALA LUMPUR: The authorities will take a soft approach in enforcing the restriction of movement nationwide to allow Malaysians to adapt to the changes in their daily routine.

    Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador said today that while there are provisions under the Penal Code which empower police to act on those who defy orders and isolation rules, police would take a subtle approach in the early stages of the exercise.

    He said in the two-week restriction of movement, police hope the people will play their role in strictly observing the law by self-imposing isolation without the need of police enforcement.

    “This is not a curfew. It is just a move to control movement. If the laws are not being adhered to then we will first advise, then warn and finally action will be taken. We hope everyone will cooperate or else the whole purpose of this exercise will be defeated,” he said at a press conference at Bukit Aman, after attending a high-powered meeting in Putrajaya with the National Security Council, military and other agencies.

    Abdul Hamid said those who plan interstate travel are required to notify the nearest police station of the purpose of their journey.

    He said the traveller will need to have a valid and urgent purpose of making such a trip before police consider issuing an approval letter.

    “This is to limit movement of people and to contain the spread of the virus. Please be responsible and not selfish. If there is no urgent need to travel then stay indoors. We seek your understanding in these difficult times. Do not make unnecessary travel or take family holidays.”

    Abdul Hamid said random checks will be conducted by police on motorists travelling from state to state to ascertain if they had obtained the necessary travel permit from police.

    Abdul Hamid said interstate travel would only be allowed for :

    – the demise of a close family member

    – the ill-health of a family member

    – medical treatment for one’s self or family member

    He said those who wish to seek approval for the travel for other reasons may discuss the matter with the officer-in-charge of station (OCS).

    Those who fail to produce the travel document during police checks can face action under laws of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 and Penal Code where the penalty is imprisonment up to two years or a fine or both.

    He added that traffic police counters for settling traffic summonses will be closed during the two-week period until March 31.

    He said those who intend to pay their fines urgently to renew their driving licence or road tax due to being blacklisted can do so online.

    Abdul Hamid said if they are unable to pay fines online, they can seek the assistance of the district police chief or his deputy in their respective areas.

    On another matter, Abdul Hamid said the police force is yet to have any positive cases of Covid-19.

    However, he said seven senior police officers, 34 junior officers, two civilian staff and 11 of their family members have been placed in self-quarantine after being suspected of exposure to the virus.
