POST #EndSARS Protest: Lagos Government Further Relaxes Curfew

Lagos State Government has announced further reduction of daily curfew period imposed on Lagos State following the awry side of the protest after it was hijacked by dare devil hoodlums.

The development was announced by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho on Friday.

Omotosho said the curfew will now be effective between the hours of 10:00 pm and 6:00 am.

“Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu praises Lagosians for observing the curfew, which is expected to restore normalcy in our communities,” Omotosho said.

Sanwo-Olu declared a 24-hour curfew on Tuesday, October 20 due to the “degenerated into a monster that is threatening the well-being of our society.” He relaxed the curfew on Friday, October 23.

The governor said the curfew was a demonstration of government’s commitment not to watch and allow anarchy in the state.

“Lives and limbs have been lost as criminals and miscreants are now hiding under the umbrella of these protests to unleash mayhem on our state,” Sanwo-Olu said.
