We Imposed Curfew On Lagos To Effect Arrests Of Thugs & Miscreants – Gov Sanwo-Olu
The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has disclosed the major reason his government imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state.
Mr Sanwo-Olu who communicated via his facebook in the evening of Tuesday, October 20, 2020 maintained the decision was made to effect arrests of hoodlums who are hiding under the #EndSARS protests to “unleash mayhem on the State and wantonly disrupt citizens lives and property”.
His post reads…
Watching these videos is a major heartbreak for me personally and as Governor, I cannot watch as arsonists, hoodlums and anarchists continue to hide under the #EndSars protest to unleash mayhem on the State and wantonly disrupt citizens lives and property.
Imposing this curfew was difficult, especially as we have just returned from a COVID19 required lockdown. This curfew will allow security officials to immediately restore order to the state, arrest thugs and miscreants that have disrupted the peace.
Peaceful protesters and residents of Lagos should obey the curfew and stay in their homes to allow our security forces take immediate action to de-escalate all the issues of violence occurring at this time.
