Worried by the ongoing #EndSARS protests which appear to have been been hijacked by hoodlums, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the State, beginning from 4pm today.
Sanwo-Olu, in series if tweets via @jidesanwoolu, stressed that no responsible government would stand by and allow anarchy to reign supreme in the land.
The tweets said: “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.”
