Governor, Kayode Fayemi.
The Ekiti State government has lifted the curfew imposed
on the state with effect from 6am on Sunday.
Mr Akin Omole, the Commissioner for Information and Values
Orientation in the state, announced this in a statement on
Saturday.
He explained that the decision to lift the curfew was taken
after an assessment of the security situation and the restoration
of relative peace in the state.
According to him, the state governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, also
approved the lifting of the restrictions placed on religious
gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic with effect from
tomorrow.
“While churches and mosques are now free to open for worship
without restrictions, worshippers are advised to continue adhering
with the COVID-19 protocol, which includes wearing face-masks,
maintaining social distancing, and proper hand-washing or
hand-sanitising before joining respective congregations,” the
statement said.

their lawful businesses without fear of molestation.
He gave an assurance that the government would leave no stone
unturned towards ensuring the safety of the lives and property of
the people in the state.
The commissioner, however, advised the people to be vigilant and
promptly report suspicious movement to relevant authorities.
