It will be recalled that the government had earlier relaxed the 24-hour indefinite curfew to run from 8:00pm till 6:00am daily, following observation of citizens’ compliance and cooperation with the government’s efforts to restore peace and normalcy to the State.

In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mrs Funke Egbemode, citizens can now go about their businesses and other transactions beyond 8:00pm without any hindrance or restrictions with effect from Wednesday November 11.

She stated: “The government has once again observed the level of compliance to all directives aimed at restoring tranquility to our dear State, and hereby appreciates the citizens for their patience and understanding. The government also appreciates security agencies for their efforts in maintaining law and order in the State.

“With effect from Wednesday November 11, residents of the State are free to go about their businesses without any hindrance or restrictions, while security agencies continue to discharge their duties to forestall breakdown of law and order.

“The government urges every citizen to be wary of actions that can upset the peace and harmony that the State is reputed for, and not hesitate to provide useful information to security agencies in case of suspicion of violence in any of our communities.

“The government is also calling on parents and guardians to continue to caution their children and wards not to allow themselves to be used by unscrupulous elements to jeopardize the peace of the State”, Egbemode stated.

written by Bioreports

The State Government of Osun on Wednesday night relaxed the indefinite 24-hour curfew it imposed as a result of high scale looting activities across the state on Saturday.

A statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Prince Wole Oyebamiji, also restricted movement within the state between 6am-8pm.

The full statement:

# Following the high level of compliance with the 24-hour curfew declared last Saturday to forestall further breakdown of law and order in the State, the Governor of the State of Osun, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola, has approved the relaxation of the curfew period, effective from tomorrow, Thursday, October 29, 2020.

# Consequently, the curfew will now run from 8:00pm to 6:00am daily.

#Security operatives will still remain on the streets to enforce the new curfew directive with a view to further maintaining law and order.

# Also, all motorcycle operators will now operate from 6:00am to 8:00pm daily as earlier announced. This will subsist even after the curfew is completely lifted.

# As we all know, the curfew was never declared in the first instance to inflict hardship on our people but to protect them and return normalcy to the State.

# We appreciate President Muhammadu Buhari and all the security agencies for their various roles in ensuring that normalcy and peace return to our State.

# We commend the residents and citizens of Osun for their show of understanding and cooperation in the last five days of the curfew.

#We also laud our youths for displaying high sense of maturity and understanding in calling off any form of protest in light of the prevailing circumstances.

# Government remains committed to the cause of our youths and shall take every necessary step to ensure their welfare.

#Government also commends those who took advantage of the amnesty period to return looted items in line with the Omoluabi ethos for which we are known.

# Whistle Blowers could still reach out to us on 08187187678 for information on looted items.

However, effective from tomorrow, Thursday, October 29, anyone found to be in possession of any looted item will be arrested, investigated and prosecuted as earlier announced.

# All citizens and residents are enjoined to be peaceful and be law abiding as all efforts shall be made to protect them and their property.

# May God continue to bless and keep our State safe.

Signed: Prince Wole Oyebamiji

Osun Imposes 24-Hour Curfew

by Bioreports
written by Bioreports

The Government of the State of Osun note with a high sense of responsibility the unfortunate dangerous dimension the #EndSARS protests have assumed across the country, particularly in the South West States.

In our dear State, but for providence, the Governor would not have been alive to preside over today’s security meeting following the attempt on his life last Saturday.

In spite of the Saturday incident, we have allowed the protest to continue in the hope that the real protesters would take charge of the protest.

Events of the last 48 hours have however shown clearly that the protests have been hijacked by criminals and hoodlums.

As a responsible and responsive government that took the sacred oath to protect the lives and property of our citizens, we will not sit and watch criminals unleash terror on our State.

Consequently, the Governor of the State of Osun, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola, hereby imposes a 24-hour curfew on all parts of the State, effective from 11.59 pm today, Tuesday, October 20, until further notice.

By implication, there shall be no movement except those on essential duties who will be permitted to move around. These set of persons must have valid identifications to move around during the period of the curfew.

All citizens and residents are enjoined to comply with this directive as any person found contravening this order shall be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.

I enjoin all our citizens to be peaceful and to be law abiding as all efforts shall be made to protect them and their property.

May God continue to bless and keep the State of Osun.

Thank you and God bless.
