The Lagos State Government has declared a 24-hour curfew starting from 4 pm on Tuesday (Today).
According to a statement released by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
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.
