Ekiti State Government has rewarded a father, Mr. Adeoye, for rejecting his son, who sneaked into the state after defying Lagos lockdown orders.

Lagos, Ogun and Abuja have been on five-weeks lockdown to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus.

Governor Kayode Fayemi hailed Mr. Adeoye's act of bravery and conferred him with the role of an ambassador.

Fayemi made the announcement on his official Twitter account on Thursday evening.

"Today, I appointed Mr. Adeoye, father of the young man who sneaked into Ekiti state, as a COVID-19 Response Ambassador in Ekiti State.

"I am proud of Mr Adeoye as a principled Ekiti man and I salute his courage in helping us keep Ekiti safe. #covid19 #covid19Ekiti.

"Mr. Adeoye will help to propagate the message as a member of the COVID-19 Task Force @Ekiti_COVID19 in the State."
