The Lagos State government has declared a 24-hour curfew across the state.
The announcement was made by the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu via his official Twitter handle.
He wrote, “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.
