#EndSARS: Sanwo-Olu Imposes 24-hour Curfew In Lagos, Residents React

Following a pronouncement of 24-hour curfew by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, residents have expressed displeasure with a common notion that the government is trying to suppress the EndSARS protests.

Sanwo-Olu earlier imposed Curfew across the state via a statement released through his official Twitter account:

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.
