Sanwo-Olu lifts Lagos curfew effective immediately
In a statement signed by the Lagos State Commissioner of Information Gbenga Omotosho, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has relaxed the curfew.
The curfew imposed on Lagos state following the unrest that trailed the End SARS protests has been lifted with immediate effect.
The federal curfew, however, remains in place.
“The curfew imposed on Lagos State after the hijack of the peaceful #EndSARS protests has been lifted immediately. The 12 am to 4 am curfew imposed by the Federal Government to curb the spread of COVID-19 remains.
“Lagosians are free to go about their business without any hindrance whatsoever. Security agencies will continue to discharge their duties.
“Lagosians are urged to co-operate with them to maintain the status of our state as one of the most peaceful.
“Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu thanks security agencies for their efforts in restoring peace to our troubled communities. He commends Lagosians for observing the curfew and ensuring the return of normalcy.
“The Governor urges the citizenry not to do or encourage any action that may turn back the clock, but to keep living in harmony as we get set to rebuild our dear State and strengthen the unity that we are known for,” the statement read.
