Breaking: Lagos Government Imposes 24hr Curfew

The Lagos state government on Tuesday announced a 24-hour curfew until further notice following the #EndSARS protests which have turned violent.

In  a statement by the governor, the curfew takes effect from 4pm today, Tuesday 20, October, 2020.

See Full Statement Below

Dear Lagosians,

I have watched with shock how what began as a peaceful #EndSARS protest has degenerated into a monster that is threatening the well-being of our society. 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.

 

As a government that is alive to its responsibility and has shown a commitment to the movement #ENDSARS, we will not watch and allow anarchy in our dear state.

 

I, therefore, hereby impose a 24-hour curfew on all parts of the State as from, 4 pm today, 20th October 2020. Nobody, except essential service providers and first responders, must be found on the streets.
