Lagos and Ekiti State Governments have lifted curfews in the states.
Lagos Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday evening.
The statement read: “The curfew imposed on Lagos State after the hijack of the peaceful #EndSARS protests has been lifted immediately. However, the 12:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. curfew imposed by the Federal Government to curb the spread of COVID-19 remains.
“Lagosians are free to go about their business without any hindrance whatsoever. Security agencies will continue to discharge their duties.
“Lagosians are urged to co-operate with them to maintain the status of our state as one of the most peaceful.
“Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu thanks security agencies for their efforts in restoring peace to our troubled communities. He commends Lagosians for observing the curfew and ensuring the return of normalcy.
“The governor urges the citizenry not to do or encourage any action that may turn back the clock, but to keep living in harmony as we get set to rebuild our dear state and strengthen the unity that we are known for.”
Similarly, Ekiti state’s Commissioner for Information and Values Orientation, Akin Omole, disclosed this development in a statement.
He said: “The Ekiti State government has lifted the curfew imposed on the state with effect from 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2020.
“The decision to lift the curfew was taken after an assessment of the security situation and the restoration of relative peace in the state.
“Dr. Kayode Fayemi also approved the lifting of the restrictions placed on religious gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic with effect from the same date, November 1, 2020.”
