Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has imposed a 24 hours curfew following the chaos that has erupted in the state.
The decision came few hours after some hoodlums had set a police station on fire in Orile, Lagos.
In his words, the Governor said: ”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.”
