EndSARS: Lagos State Gov. Sanwo- Olu Declares Curfew In the State
Following the violence that has overtaken the peaceful #EndSARS protests nationwide, the Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo- Olu has declared a total Curfew on the state.
“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. “
Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu
Governor, Lagos State
