Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has imposed an indefinite 24-hour curfew on all parts of the state.

The governor disclosed this in a statement today.

He predicated his decision on the degeneration of the #EndSARS protests “into a monster that is threatening the well-being of our society”.

Read full statement:

Dear Lagosians,

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.
