Violence: Gov Sanwo-Olu Imposes Curfew In Lagos

Following the spate of violence recorded across Lagos State in the last 24 hours, the Executive Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has imposed a curfew in the state.

Disclosing the development, Sanwo-Olu said, “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 4pm today, 20th October, 2020. Nobody, except essential service providers and first responders must be found on the streets”Sanwo-Olu said.
