Edo Govt Relaxes 24-hour Curfew

Edo State Government has relaxed the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed in the state on Monday, October 19, 2020 to quell civil disturbances in the wake of the hijack of #ENDSARS protests.

The curfew is now to commence from 4pm to 6am daily, starting from Friday, October 23, and would be reviewed after 72 hours.

In a statement, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, urged citizens to adhere strictly to the new directive.

Osagie reassured that the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration remains committed to the security of lives and property. 

He further enjoined Edo people go about their normal businesses and return home before the kick-off of the curfew.
