The Lagos State has imposed a 24-hour state wide curfew as from 4.00p.m. today Tuesday 20 October 2020. This is due to the ongoing #EndSARS protest
This is the statement from the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Twitter:"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 4pm today, 20th October, 2020. Nobody, except essential service providers and first responders must be found on the streets."
