Following the widespread arson and destruction suffered in
Lagos State this week, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered the clean-up of
the state, saying Lagos must heal.
The governor made this known during a briefing on Friday at
the State House in Marina.
He also eased the curfew imposed to stem the tide of the
unrest in the state effective Saturday between 8am and 6pm.
He said, ” We have commenced the clean up of the city
because the city needs to be clean up — a whole lot of roadblocks, tires burnt
on the road…LAWMA (Lagos Waste Management Authority) are out already. They will
be working all through the night.
“But in the event that they do not finish, I want to
admonish and appeal to motorists and our citizens to be careful on the road.
Please if you do not need to go out, please stay at home. But if you must and
you have to go out, please drive with a lot of caution because there are still
a lot of barricades, bonfires, broken bottles, burnt tires. Please be careful.
“We will try to clean up the city overnight. We’ve pushed
all of the men outside.”
The two-week-old #EndSARS protests against police brutality
had turned violent earlier in the week as rampaging hoodlums looted and razed
public and private assets including banks, police stations, local government
secretariats, television station, newspaper house, first-class palace, shopping
malls, and many others in the state.
