Breaking: Lagos Eases Curfew

Femi Ashekun/

Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has relaxed the 24-hour curfew imposed on state on Monday following the violence that overtook the peaceful #EndSARS protests.

The governor while addressing journalists after a tour of some parts of the state affected by the violence said residents would now be free to move around from 8am to 6pm from tomorrow.

He said the decision to ease the curfew and not lift it completely was reached after a review of the security situation in the state, which revealed that there were still isolated cases of violence in some areas.

He added that the curfew would be further reviewed on Sunday with a view to restoring full normalcy to the state.

The governor, who called for a minute’s silence for the souls that were lost to the violence, also decried the wanton destruction of both public and private property by hoodlums who hijacked the protest.
