Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has imposed a 24-hour curfew on all parts of the state.
This is following unrest and mayhem caused by suspected hoodlums who have reportedly hijacked the #EndSARS protest.
Disclosing this via his verified Twitter handle, the governor wrote: “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”.
