Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has
declared a 24 hour Curfew on the state from midnight today,
Saturday.
Governor Abdulrazaq made this known in a
statewide broadcast on Midland 99.1 FM.
Abdulrazaq said, “Lives are being threatened. Businesses are
being looted. Public properties have been targeted. This is
unacceptable. It is not who we are.
“To curb these acts of criminalities, I hereby declare a
24-hour curfew in Ilorin metropolis from midnight today October
23rd, 2020. This is in line with Sections 1, 2 and 4 of the Public
Order Act Chapter 382 Laws of Federation of Nigeria 2004.
“People are urged to stay indoors in compliance with this
curfew. This will be reviewed as we watch developments.
Our observation is that what has happened today is not a
protest, it cannot be defended under any guide, it was a pure act
of criminality as some people are hiding under the guise of
nationwide protest.”
