Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said the 24-hour curfew  that was imposed on the state to curtail the arson and widespread violence that has ravaged the state might be eased on Friday.

The governor said the easing of the curfew was necessary for Lagos residents to restock food supplies and other essential commodities.

“Once we see the streets are cleared up and all the agitation and high nerves have gone down, we might slow down the curfew by tomorrow (Friday) or next tomorrow (Saturday) at the latest,” he said on Thursday morning.

Sanwo-Olu had imposed the curfew on Tuesday afternoon in the wake of the unrest in the state.
