He made this revelation during a Saturday media briefing.
Based on the state of things, he said the lockdown would be extended, adding that the number of patients discharged in Lagos had risen to 24.

Sanwo-olu, however, promised that palliatives measures would be provided for the residents across the state.
“If there’s a need to extend the lockdown, I will. We got one discharged patient today. We are going to sit down with the committee that is working on the community markets and see if we can announce more next week,” the governor concluded.
On suspected attack by compliance officers on residents, Sanwo-Olu said, “There has been no criticism of the security operatives ‘handling of people so far. I always say to them, ‘wear a human face’
