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.

A lot of people have different opinions about the decision b y the governor.

See people's responses to the tweet below:

How does the curfew in Lagos start at 4pm today? How will people get home? A 24 hour indefinite curfew is oppressive and will only give room/excuses for people to be further brutalized by the police.
So u sef don join the dictatorship geng bah

Dear sir, the police that has been killing peaceful protesters couldn't face or arrest any thug causing unrest in the state. When a BRT bus took thugs to alausa to attack peaceful protesters where were you? Was and has any arrest been made? We thought you were better but...

You mean the sponsored thugs that came in your BRT bus ??
Any year you curfew uplift, we continue from where we stop.
Thanks..

Wọn ti f'ayo fọ

Sanwo-Olu did everything the protesters wanted, joined them, too their complain to Abuja, set up judicial committee, identify the crooked SARS and put them forward for prosecution, let the protesters have their way. But they continued.

Inglourious end.
