The Lagos State government on Friday further relaxed the curfew imposed on the state.

The state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, who announced this in a statement, said the curfew would now run from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. daily.

He said: “Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu praises Lagosians for observing the curfew, which is expected to restore normalcy in our communities.

“He urges all Lagosians to go about their businesses in peace, even as they shun ‘actions that can threaten our unity.
