The Lagos State Government has announced a further relaxation of the curfew imposed after the hijack of the peaceful #EndSARS protests.
According to a statement from the State’s Commissioner for Information, Gbenga Omotosho, the curfew will now be from 10:00 pm till 6:00 am.
Omotosho said, “Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu praises Lagosians for observing the curfew, which is expected to restore normalcy in our communities.”
A 24-hour curfew was initially announced by the Governor on Tuesday, October 20 due to the “degenerated into a monster that is threatening the well-being of our society.”
Sanwoolu stated that the curfew was a demonstration of government’s commitment not to watch and allow anarchy in the state: “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.”

Lagosians are therefore urged “to go about their businesses in peace” and ensure they shun “actions that can threaten our unity”.
