Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has placed a 24-hour curfew on the state which will be effective from 4pm on Tuesday, October 20.
This is following thugs and mob attacks currently taking over the state. A police station in Orile Iganmu Lagos, was burnt down today and a police office was lighted to flames.
He said;
“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.”
