On Tuesday, October 20, 2020, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state effective from 4 pm.
He 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.
