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 ofthese 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 Stateas from 4pm today, 20th October,2020. Nobody, except essential service providers and first responders must be found on the streets. 

Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu 
Governor, Lagos State
