Just few hours after the Edo State Government imposed a curfew due to the havoc and destruction being caused by thugs who have hijacked the #EndSARS protests; the Lagos State Government has followed suit with a 24 hours curfew on all parts of the state as from 4pm, 20th October, 2020.
Lagos State becomes the second state to impose curfew following the #EndSARS protest after Edo State.
Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the curfew became necessary seeing that thugs and miscreants are now hiding under the guise of the #EndSARS protest to perpetrate evil.
Read full statement of The Lagos State Government on its twitter page below:
“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.
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.
The Lagos State Government has noticed the stateunpleasant events that have occured today following the degeneration of the anti-SARS protests”.
