Lagos Paused As Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu Declares 24-hour curfew

Speech below:

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,) Tuesday, 20th October,2020. Nobody, except essential service providers and first responders must be found on the streets.

Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu
Governor, Lagos State.

2 THOUGHTS ON Lagos Paused As Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu Declares 24-hour curfew

  1. That’s their game plan : hired people that will destroy things, declared curfew and release Operations Crocodile Dance.
    I think government is gradually bringing in their game plan.
