The officers claimed they were enforcing an order, which directed that health workers and media personnel were not allowed to move beyond 8pm.
However, in a statement late Tuesday, Adamu said essential workers were now free to continue with their duties.
The IGP directed all “Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police and Commands Commissioners of Police to give effect to these exemptions whilst enforcing the restriction orders.”
